Krasnodar vs CSKA Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 7 November 2026
🔉 Both teams are in the RPL top five, but a draw in their head-to-head meeting will suit neither side. Krasnodar and CSKA Moscow will both play to win to close the gap to leaders Zenit as much as possible before the league break. For Krasnodar, it is a chance to end a prolonged winless run; for CSKA, it is a chance to consolidate their place among the leading teams and show they can perform in big matches.
Head-to-Head
📊 Krasnodar are in a slump, but they have historically done well at home against CSKA Moscow: in 19 home matches, they have recorded 11 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats. In the Russian Premier League alone, the Bulls have won their last three home meetings and are unbeaten in eight consecutive matches. CSKA Moscow last won an RPL match in Krasnodar in 2017 - nine years ago.
Head-to-head statistics Krasnodar - CSKA
The attack is firing, but the defence is letting them down
Krasnodar had a flawless summer - six wins in a row, and it seemed Murad Musaev’s side were ready to challenge for the title. But in autumn, they looked like a different team: seven league rounds without a win, with every match becoming more difficult. The problem is not in attack - the “Bulls” still score in almost every match - but in a defence that is no longer a fortress. Krasnodar conceded four goals in the first six rounds and twelve in the next seven. Even scoring has stopped bringing points: they take the lead but surrender it because of mistakes at the back.
At home, Krasnodar traditionally take the initiative and like to control possession, but against CSKA Moscow and their quick transitions, that could leave space behind the defenders. The attack remains productive: Córdoba and Batxi can punish any mistake, but without a reliable defence, even goals do not guarantee a result. Musaev will also have to reshuffle his side because of suspensions, adding to the instability in the current situation.
Match Results: Krasnodar
League consistency and struggles away from home
CSKA are one of the league’s most consistent teams: in 13 rounds, they have suffered just one defeat, against Dynamo (1:3), alongside seven wins and five draws. But that is not enough to challenge for first place: in the last round, they struggled away at Orenburg (0:0), where their opponents made it a scrappy contest and prevented them from moving the ball quickly in their usual fashion. CSKA have been less impressive away than at home, a worrying sign ahead of their trip to Krasnodar.
Tactically, Igdisamov has reshaped the team’s play: they have switched to a system with three centre-backs, with Krugovoy and Azzi covering the flanks. The new setup has already delivered a result in the derby against Spartak (2:0), and against Krasnodar, who leave space when switching from attack to defence, quick attacks down the flanks could be their main weapon.

⚽️ Goals prediction
In the Russian Premier League, CSKA Moscow have scored in 9 of their last 10 matches. Krasnodar have failed to keep a clean sheet in 9 of the previous 10 head-to-head meetings and 9 of their last 10 matches in all competitions. Prediction - CSKA Moscow to score at odds of 1.36*.
🚩 Corner kicks prediction
CSKA Moscow covered a +1.5 corner handicap in 11 of their last 14 head-to-head meetings away to Krasnodar in the Russian Premier League. In ten of those matches, the Moscow side were not even beaten on corners. The main bet is CSKA Moscow - Corners Handicap +1.5 at 1.50*.
🟨 Yellow card prediction
Referee Sergey Karasev has officiated 22 Russian Premier League matches over the last two seasons, averaging 4.41 yellow cards and 27.45 fouls per match. He has been relatively lenient in the current league campaign, showing just three yellow cards in 3 of his 5 matches. But this match could be more physical: at least four yellow cards were shown in 4 of Krasnodar’s last 5 matches and in CSKA Moscow’s last four matches. We pick Total Yellow Cards - Over 3.5 at 1.31*.
🚀 Bet on a player's stats
Dmitriy Vorobyov scored his first goal for Krasnodar in the cup match against Dynamo, then registered an assist against Rodina. When the forward played for Lokomotiv, he scored regularly against CSKA Moscow, netting four goals. Odds of 3.39* are offered on a Vorobyov goal.
😱 A Risky Bet
Krasnodar have drawn 5 of their last 6 league matches. The team lack confidence, but at home they may be able to get themselves up for CSKA Moscow and try to play better than in recent rounds. Draw at 3.85* is a risky pick.
🎯 Reliable bet
At home, Krasnodar have scored in 16 consecutive league matches. In the Russian Premier League, they have failed to score just once in 32 games. CSKA Moscow have conceded in 8 of their last 9 away matches in all competitions. Krasnodar to Score at 1.17* is a reliable option for this match.
👀 If the match doesn't go to plan
Overall, there is no clear favourite to win this match, and both teams are likely to drop points. But given Krasnodar’s historically strong home performances, the bet against the main scenario is a Krasnodar win at 2.16*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary between bookmakers.
⭐ Editor’s Pick
Defence has been a weak point for both teams lately. Both teams have scored in 4 of CSKA Moscow’s last 5 away league matches. Krasnodar have scored in six consecutive home league matches, but have also conceded in each of their last three home games. With both sides combining a productive attack with a vulnerable defence, backing both teams to score is a logical choice. Both Teams to Score - Yes is the main pick. Predicted score: 1:1.
