Krasnodar v Terek Grozny Betting Tip

These two sides got their Russian Premier League campaigns off to the ideal start last weekend as they both picked up maximum points.

Krasnodar have established themselves as one of the top sides in Russia, not bad considering they were only founded in 2008.

In addition to their 3-0 thrashing of Tom Tomsk last week, the Bulls progressed through to the next round of the Europa league with ease as they overcame Maltese minnows Birkirkara

Oleg Kononov’s side will be looking to show they are a real challenge to the established order of CSKA Moscow and Zenit St. Petersburg by having another excellent campaign during 2016/17. A victory against Terek would help them nicely along their way.

The Chechens are one of the more solid sides in the Russian Premier League, proved once again by their 1-0 win over Krylia Sovetov. Going away to Krasnodar, you would think that Rashid Rakhimov’s side would be happy with a point.

This should be a close game but I would expect Krasnodar to once again emerge victorious. As per usual there is no value in a home win for the Bulls so I have gone for Fedor Smolov to score any time at 11/8.

Last season’s top goalscorer has carried on his stupendous form into this season and I would back him to hit the back of the net here. It may be another boring and repetitive tip, but once again it stands an excellent chance of returning a profit.

There isn’t a striker I trust in Europe more right now than Fedor Smolov.
