A Sports Betting Pick by Pantocrator
Football : Russian Premier League
Monday, 10th May 2010. Kickoff 12:00
CSKA Moscow (3rd) Form : 5-2-2 14:8
CSKA needs to bounce back following another disappointing performance, this time against Rostov on the road.
The "Army men" astonishingly hit the frame of the goal 4 times and failed to convert a handsome of other scoring opportunities before
eventually losing 0-1.
Rostov has become a very uncomfortable opponent over the last two seasons as this defeat became third in a row for CSKA.
Coach Leonid Slutsky is under constant pressure being the head-coach of one of the most supported clubs in Moscow. The low-spirited display vs. Zenit a week ago was later made up for with a 3-1 win against Tom'. Fans expect more of the same this time around after the failure in Rostov na Donu.
CSKA is still without the injured defenders V. Berezutsky and Nababkin. Top scorer Guilherme has been released to join his wife who's about to give birth.
Terek Grozny
Terek remains one of my most admired teams in the Premier League, despite all the controversy surrounding the club and it's behaviour.
Chechen club is extremely nice to watch on the pitch, which is a rather unusual thing when it comes to our league. They've been rather unfortunate recently failing to use 100% goalscoring opportunities against Tom' (lost 1-2), Zenit (0-0 draw), Lokomotiv (0-0 draw).
Posts and disallowed goals have been haunting Terek over the last couple of weeks.
Now Anatoly Baidachny's team is up against another "Big Club".
So far Terek Grozny's record in high-profile games has been decent enough - only Spartak managed to break the resistance with an 87th minute goal to win 2-1 in Luzhniki. Lokomotiv (in Grozny),Dynamo (in Grozny) Zenit (in St. Petersburg) were all held to respective draws.
Visitors are injury free.
Betting advice
The H2H record suggests Terek has been nothing but hopeless during trips to Moscow. CSKA has won all three of their last home fixtures against the Chechens, not allowing the visitors to even get on the scoresheet.
However Terek has significantly improved the quality of its' away performances this year. Taking into account how entertaining both of these teams play this season - an "over 2 goals" pick seems certain enough.
