FC Rostov vs CSKA Moscow Prediction 17 December 2020

On Thursday evening, another match of the nineteenth round of the Russian Premier League between Rostov and CSKA will take place.

Fourth place, 32 points and a goal difference of 23:17 - just like a year ago, Rostov are actively fighting for the finish in the leading three. Over the past month, the Yellow-Blues have got spectacular victories 2:0 over Rubin, 4:1 over Dynamo Moscow and 1:0 over Akhmat, losing at the same time 0:2 to CSKA and 0:1 to Ufa.

While CSKA, after the aforementioned 2:0 victory over Rostov, misfired in four consecutive confrontations with Sochi (1:1), Rubin (0:1), Khimki (2:2) and Ural (2:2). As a result, the inevitable loss of leadership and a fall to the third line of the standings with 34 points in the asset and statistics of scored-conceded goals of 32:16.

Both teams are now approximately equal, but Rostov will have an advantage in the form of a home stadium. We believe that the hosts will do their best to prolong the crisis in the ranks of CSKA.
