There is a strange situation with the players’ salary in Mordovia. The team chiefs were told that players can boycott their next game if their salary is not paid in time, although it is hard to say that this is the right attitude. Either way there is unrest at the club and this will surely transpire on the pitch. On this basis I am backing Spartak Moscow to win here, and i think they can score at least twice in doing so. The bet to be on is Spartak to win and over 1.5 goals. Yes, they may concede (I’m sure they will), but I simply see them outscoring their troubled opponents. With all that said, the odds on Spartak to win and over 2.5 goals look very attractive, so we can go for that too.
Mordovia don’t look solid, they were really poor against CSKA Moscow. Even Spartak can score three times against them.
