Krasnodar vs Valencia 

Challenge of return that moves to Krasnodar where Valencia arrives. Forward race ended in favor of the Spaniards with the result of 2-1.

So let’s start with the hosts who are not having a good time. After the defeat in the Europa League, here is the draw in the league against Orsenburg, a third consecutive draw in the Premier League that then moves Zenit away to +5 while CSKA has gone to -2. Second place is certainly a good result but in the last period they have suffered a slight decline. In fact, since they resumed the season after the friendlies have never won, just think that in the last 6 only 4 points arrived, the result of as many draws. At home, however, they are unbeaten since October and therefore have a great chance to pass the round.

Guests who instead come to the league by success for 2-3 obtained against Girona. Good time for the Valencia that comes from 4 consecutive victories between the championship and cups and does not lose from the challenge of the cup of Rey played at the end of January. So the Liga climbed up to seventh place with the Europa area a handful of points away. After the success of the first leg the difficult part arrives today. In fact the 2-1 does not guarantee the passage of the round, on the contrary, the goal conceded a week ago by the Russians has complicated the qualifying speech. Valencia which is a very square team that scores very little, but today it is important to score and avoid making the mistake of closing in defense.

Turning to the forecast, today we see this rather balanced challenge. On the one hand we have the Krasnodar which can boast an excellent internal performance but needs to score goals to pass the round. On the other hand, a Valencia that encounters not a few difficulties in the maneuver of attack but at the same time suffers little and can boast a good state of form. We therefore expect a poor race of nets that could even end with a measure of success for the Spaniards, given the very bad period of the Russians.

Our Prediction: x2

Odds: 1.32
