Volzhane had a disappointing campaign in this term of Premier League. They are now winless in eight subsequent games across competitions and are just four points above the red zone line coming into this complicated away fixture against Champions League hopefuls.
The return of just one point from last three rounds which saw Rubin play the likes of Krylya Sovetov, Ural and Ufa is highly disappointing. Volzhane won only 1 of 15 away matches this season and we have to see them as clear underdogs against Spartak here.
The visitors scored only two goals in last four away fixtures in the competition. Apart from the home win, we will go with Spartak’s clean sheet at 1.90 as an alternative betting prediction.
