CSKA Moscow is on a dry spell in the Russian Premier League lately. They are winless in the last four matches with 2 draws in it, following a 3-2 loss on the road to FK Rostov in the prior clash.

Despite their recent dip in form, the host will need another three points to stay in the promotion zone of the table.

With their mixed form at home (5W 2D 3L); Viktor Goncharenko and his team will not boast their home ground advantage in the match.
However, it has to be noted that the home team has not lost to Ufa in any of their h2h clashes so far since 2014.

FC Ufa was winless in their recent two games, following a goalless draw on the road against Zenit in their previous encounter in the campaign.
Vadim Evseev’s boys have not fared better in their away games. With just 2 wins in their 11 away fixtures, the odds will be against the visitors in the match.

CSKA Moscow vs FC Ufa Team News

For a club of their size, last season didn’t go to plan for CSKA as they finished 4th, some 13 points behind eventual winners Zenit. Even more frustratingly, this campaign seems to be following the same pattern, with the side stationed in 5th place after 21 games, collecting 35 points in the process.

Nonetheless, just 3 points behind a Champions League slot, CSKA cannot afford to feel sorry for themselves and must focus attention on winning Sunday’s clash.

Having won 5 of their 10 home games this season whilst conceding an average of less than a goal a game, their prospects of doing exactly look fairly bright and those taking to the pitch will be desperate to avoid slipping up.

Meanwhile, Ufa had to negotiate a relegation play-off last season to stay in the top flight but are enjoying a more successful time this term. After 21 matches, the visitors are in 8th place with 26 points; putting themselves 4 points clear of the bottom four places they are looking to stay out of.

Ufa are a very limited but well organised side and they’ll be looking to frustrate CSKA in Moscow.

They managed to hold leaders Zenit to a 0-0 draw last time out but will do well to secure a result on Sunday, given they’ve failed to score in their last 2 matches and have notched just twice over their last 10 away league fixtures.

Ultimately, we’re expecting a tight and closed game. Ufa are a very defensive side and will not look to push forward in numbers; leaving it a question of whether or not CSKA will be able to break them down.

CSKA Moscow vs FC Ufa Predictions

We believe they will be able to with the quality they have and as such, backing a home win to nil looks by far the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned. CSKA have won their last two matches against Ufa to nil and we fancy that streak to continue via a 1-0 margin of victory.
