RPL picks. 2nd tour
Posted on Friday, March 18th, 2011 at 11:49 pm
Hello, comrades! First tour of RPL didn’t bring any sensations. Spartak Moscow loss wasn’t unlogic – they gave a rest for key players, Rostov has always been a serios opponent for them, especially in Rostov. In the second tour I also don’t see reasons for sensations.
FK Krasnodar – Nalchik
I have a sympathy to hosting club. Its president Sergey Galitsky is famous enterpreneur in Russia who created his bussiness (retail food supermarkets) from zero. His team plays decently considering the fact the team entered RPL the last moment. In first matches Muslin used the one-forward scheme and put all concentration to good defence. 0 conceded goals in 2 matches.
I didnt’t like Nalchik in game agains Samarians. The pressure in attack was created just because of corners and free kicks. Penalty was accidental.
If catching big odds I’d advice to bet on scores 1:0, 2:0. Personally I bet the guest team under 1 goal in local bookie for 1,55.
Amkar – Lokomotiv
I don’t share euphory about Loko win over Dinamo. First two goals were accidental, when defenders scored. One player I liked from Loko was Maicon, but he looked great comparing with Kisenkov, who failed this match. It will be very tough for Loko in Perm, although hosts were bad in previous games. 1x is a good bet for me.
Rubin – Terek
If somebody asked me what match in this tour I’d like to pick Over I would say this match. This year Berdyev, Rubin’s coach, is trying to build an attacking model with three forwards. I don’t see much more goal moments from Rubin but their games became more open – it is a fact. Terek under Gullit managenement is associated with attacking team. Against Zenit they had many moments, but realization was bad. Over 2 goals is a good proper pick.
