Arsenal Tula vs Krylia Sovetov: Predictions and Betting Tips

Arsenal Tula

Arsenal come into this game currently at the bottom of the Russian Premier League, having lost their first two matches 1-3 and 0-3 respectively.

The fact that they have conceded six goals in two games is already a sign of the team’s defensive weaknesses, although admittedly, these goals were conceded against two tough opponents: Rubin Kazan and Lokomotiv Moscow.

Of the last five meetings between the two teams, Arsenal have won on four occasions and lost only once.

Krylia Sovetov

Krylia, one of this season’s newcomers to the Russian top league, have not had the best start, lost both games, and both were played at home. (1-2 y 0-1).

After setting records last season in the Russian second division, having scored 100 goals and attained 101 points, Krylia must adapt to the higher level of Russian football, and be aware that they need to up their game if they are to compete with the league’s other teams.

Key Stats:

• One win, and four defeats for Arsenal Tula in their last five games
• Arsenal Tula have conceded 11 goals in their last five games
• Four consecutive losses for Krylia 
• Krylia have conceded seven goals in their last four games

Arsenal Tula vs Krylia Sovetov Predictions

Both teams were expected to finish the season in the bottom half of the table, before the league had even started, but the two matches played by both teams so far have made this all-the-more likely. Both teams are playing at a similar level, but Arsenal Tula may have the slight advantage playing at home. However, we think that a draw is a likely outcome for this match.
