Kryliya vs Rostov Prediction 23 November 2025
🔊 Can Krylia Sovetov break their winless streak in the 16th round of the Russian Premier League? They haven't tasted victory in seven consecutive matches. It's no surprise that Magomed Adiev is on the verge of being sacked. However, the club's management has expressed their confidence in the coach, but this support could be short-lived. Beating Rostov is a tough task, as they have barely lost during the same period. Thus, the visitors are considered the favorites. Nonetheless, we'll explore different options to make a well-founded prediction. The match will take place at the Samara Arena.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the last 35 head-to-head matches, Rostov hold the upper hand with a 46 percent win rate. However, in the first round of the current season, they suffered a heavy defeat against Krylia Sovetov (1-4). The Samara side displayed excellent finishing, as all four of their shots on target found the back of the net. In the closing stages, Rostov were reduced to ten men, allowing their opponents to seal the rout.
Rostov have triumphed in 6 of their last 8 encounters. Currently, they are in a form that suggests they can secure points. Therefore, we propose a bet on the visitors not to lose.
Head-to-head statistics Kryliya - Rostov
Krylya Sovetov Team Overview
🪽 Krylia Sovetov are winless in 10 consecutive matches, including the Russian Cup. During this stretch, their only success came against Sochi in a penalty shootout. These results have seen the team slip from mid-table to become one of the league's strugglers. They currently find themselves in the relegation playoff zone. The situation isn't dire yet-they just need to pick up points in the upcoming fixture to climb out, provided their rivals falter. Despite the poor run, there are positives to take away. For instance, they narrowly lost to CSKA in Moscow, conceding the only goal late on while largely containing their opponents.
🔵 Their 15th-round encounter with Zenit was even more encouraging. There were concerns about the pitch in Samara, with talks of moving the game to Saint Petersburg. However, the stadium was cleared for play by the commission. It was a tough environment for creativity, yet early in the second half, both teams found the net. The hosts then defended solidly to secure a respectable 1-1 draw.

Rostov Team Overview
🟡 In their last 10 matches, Rostov have suffered just one defeat. It's surprising, considering that Jonathan Alba was on the brink of being sacked before this turnaround. The Spanish tactician discovered a strategy that delivers results. The team has tightened up defensively, and in certain games, they've shown promise in attack, though their finishing remains inconsistent. Their sole loss in this stretch came against Akron (0-1), where they conceded a late penalty and were reduced to ten men.
🔵 In the previous round, Rostov convincingly defeated Sochi (1-0), with Kirill Shchetinin being the only one to find the back of the net. Alba's side dominated in almost every aspect, as evidenced by their commanding 19-2 advantage in shots. While not all attempts were threatening, they had the potential to score more than just one goal, once again let down by their finishing. This victory lifted them to ninth place in the standings, and with a bit of luck, the team could break into the top half for the first time.

Latest news
Krylya Sovetov
🎙️ Magomed Adiev expressed his dissatisfaction with the draw against Zenit: "In some ways, a draw in such a match isn't quite a success. We had several good chances in the first half. Still, it feels like luck turned its back on us a bit. Earning a point is a step forward, but in our situation, we need more. We have decent attacking potential, with creative players in our ranks. However, our low scoring is concerning. Once again, we were just a bit unlucky."
❌ Vadim Rakov had just recovered and almost immediately found himself back on the sidelines, this time until the end of the year. Sergey Bozhin has recovered and participated in a friendly match during the two-week break. However, it's unlikely he'll be in the starting lineup. Thomas Galdames and Dominik Oros will miss the clash with Rostov due to injuries.
Rostov
🎙️ Jonathan Alba admitted after the match against Sochi that Rostov need to score more: "Yes, we played well in the first half. There were chances. But we need to score more, and then things will get easier. The second half was very good. We faced some problems-chances at our goal that weren't there in the first half. It was a tough second half, but the guys delivered, well done. We move forward."
❌ Kirill Shchetinin, the scorer of the only goal in the match against Sochi, sustained an injury. His participation in the upcoming game is uncertain. The same goes for Mohammad Mohebi, who picked up an injury while with the Iranian national team. On the bright side, Timur Suleymanov has recovered, although he only lasted 13 minutes in the match against Sochi. Therefore, he's unlikely to start in the upcoming fixture.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the match is Vladislav Tselovalnikov. This season, he's officiated three RPL matches, averaging 3.33 yellow cards per game. In the Russian Cup, he's been in charge of one more match, handing out significantly more cautions with an average of 4.75.
When it comes to yellow cards, Rostov have the edge this season (2.7 compared to 2.4). On average, games involving them see 5.1 warnings. Some matches do spiral out of control, leading to frequent fouls. However, it seems the match in Samara might not be one of those. Considering the referee's stats in the RPL, we suggest betting on total yellow cards under 4.5.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Both teams enter this match with a trend of low-scoring games. For nine consecutive rounds involving Rostov, no more than two goals have been scored. Krylia Sovetov have a similar streak, albeit shorter (5 games), which should also be noted. This leads to a bet on total goals under 2.5.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Neither team ranks highly for corner kicks. However, Rostov hold a slight advantage (3.9 compared to 3.5). Their away average is nearly identical (3.8). In 9 out of their last 10 away games, they've had no more than four such set pieces. Nevertheless, we recommend playing it safe and opting for total corners for the visitors under 5.5.
Editor's Prediction
Rostov are the favorites heading into this clash. They don't win frequently, but they rarely lose in the fall either. Krylia Sovetov seem to have forgotten how to win altogether. A draw would be an acceptable outcome for both sides, especially for Rostov, as every point is a step up for them. Therefore, we suggest a potential final score of 1-1.
Don't expect a goal fest in this upcoming match. Krylia Sovetov have outscored Rostov (18 goals to 12), but Vadim Rakov, who has been influential, is sidelined with an injury. The "Yellow-Blues" have been struggling with finishing, as noted by their coach, and only two teams in the RPL have scored fewer goals than them. However, Rostov have been solid defensively, with their last nine matches featuring low-scoring affairs. Our key bet is on total goals under 2.5.
