Krylya Sovetov vs. Orenburg: Match Prediction
Samara ended their four-match scoring streak in the Premier League last round, but scoring against Rubin away is quite challenging. At home, Krylya Sovetov have scored in 8 of their last 10 Russian Premier League games. During this period, they only failed to score against Spartak and Krasnodar. However, Magomed Adiev's men lack defensive reliability. In the current championship, the club has kept only two clean sheets, and at home, Samara have conceded in 11 of their last 14 matches in this tournament.
Unsatisfactory results led to changes on the Orenburg coaching staff. The newly appointed Ildar Akhmetzyanov is an advocate of attacking football, and it is quite likely that Orenburg will soon become more active in attack. However, even without this change, the club has scored in 6 of their last 7 league matches. The new coach will also need to improve the defense: Orenburg ranks third from the bottom in goals conceded in the Russian Premier League 2025/26, and the team has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 15 away Premier League matches.
Additionally, both teams have scored in 6 of their last 7 head-to-head league encounters. This is another factor supporting the prediction Both teams to score – yes.
