Fakel

Spartak Moscow average 1.8 goals per game at home this season and have scored two or more goals in three of their last five home matches across all competitions. Fakel have allowed seven goals in three away matches, conceding twice at Akhmat and three times at FC Rostov, which supports Spartak generating multiple goals in this matchup.

Spartak Moscow hold a clear advantage over a Fakel side that sits at the bottom of the standings with zero wins and five defeats from seven league matches. Fakel have lost all three of their away fixtures while conceding an average of 2.3 goals per game. Spartak have scored in all seven league fixtures this season and have won three of their four historical home meetings against Fakel, making a home win the most probable result.

Fakel remain winless in the league through seven rounds, having drawn two and lost five while scoring only four goals in total. At home, Fakel have managed just one goal in four games and have failed to score in three of those matches. Baltika have shown solid form on the road with two wins from three away fixtures and two clean sheets, conceding an average of only 0.7 goals per away game. Additionally, Fakel have not won any of their four recorded home encounters against Baltika, making the away side strong contenders to avoid defeat in a low-scoring match.

Zenit remain unbeaten in their last 10 head-to-head fixtures against Fakel, winning eight and drawing two. Fakel have yet to win a match this season (0-2-3 overall) and have scored only one goal in three home games. While the suspension of M. Glushenkov slightly dampens Zenit's firepower, double chance covering the away win or draw provides strong security against Fakel's low-scoring defensive setup.
