Tambov vs CSK VVS Prediction 5 September 2026
🔊 Tambov kick off the new campaign at home against CSK VVS, who have already played their opening official fixture. The hosts had a disappointing end to their preseason, suffering three consecutive defeats after back-to-back wins. Tambov have extra motivation heading into this clash: last season, Samara claimed victory in both head-to-head meetings. Now, the home side will be determined to break that streak and start the regular season with a statement win in front of their fans.
Head-to-head statistics Tambov - CSK VVS

CSK VVS Team Overview
CSK VVS opened the new season with a defeat, but the team have already found their rhythm thanks to that first official fixture. Looking at their last 10 games, the Samara side have managed just two wins against eight losses, with an average goal tally of 2.1 scored and 2.8 conceded per game over that span. Defensively, they are just as prone to lapses as their opponents, but their offense does manage to exceed two goals per game slightly more often. However, their output on the road remains modest - last season, they averaged just one goal per away match. Due to a cautious approach in away fixtures, CSK VVS frequently find themselves in low-scoring contests: the under 5.5 goals market has hit in six of their last seven games on the road.
