Fakel vs Kryliya Prediction 24 May 2025
🔊 Can Fakel secure their first win under Shalimov in the Russian Premier League? There won't be another chance, as this is the final round and the team is set to leave the top flight. Krylia Sovetov might be a favorable opponent for this, given their recent performances have raised questions, even among the Samara region's leaders. In this scenario, bookmakers slightly favor the hosts. However, we'll explore various options to make an insightful prediction. Let's not forget, the match takes place in Voronezh at the Fakel Stadium.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the last 11 head-to-head matches, Krylia Sovetov hold the upper hand with seven wins, two losses, and two draws. In the first round of the current season, Osinkin's side netted two unanswered goals against their opponents. Fernando Costanza and Franco Orozco scored late in that match, though neither will feature in the upcoming game for various reasons.
It's clear that matches against Krylia Sovetov are rarely straightforward for Fakel. The team from Voronezh generally struggles to find the back of the net in these encounters, scoring no more than one goal in 10 of their last 11 head-to-head games. Thus, a potential bet to consider is Fakel's total goals under 1.5.
Head-to-head statistics Fakel - Kryliya
Fakel Voronezh Team Overview
🔵 Fakel have yet to secure a victory since the winter break. Their last triumph came against Akhmat back in October. The team's performance has improved since the coaching change, at least breaking their goal drought and creating more opportunities in front of the opposition's net. However, without a win, they were the first team relegated to the FNL.
🔗 In the previous round, Fakel came close to snapping their winless streak. Everything seemed set for a breakthrough. They scored against Pari NN away in the 18th minute and gained a numerical advantage before halftime. Yet, they couldn't hold onto their lead, resulting in a 1-1 draw.

Krylya Sovetov Team Overview
⚪ In April, Krylia Sovetov went unbeaten, stringing together a five-match run without a loss, effectively securing their objectives for the season. However, this was followed by some puzzling defeats that prevented them from overtaking Akron in the standings. For instance, they conceded twice against a ten-man Dynamo Moscow (1-3). Subsequently, they let in five goals against Pari NN (2-5), a team lower in the league table and not in contention for the title.
🔗 Krylia Sovetov failed to challenge Spartak's reserve team in the last round (0-2). Glenn Bale was notably at fault, receiving a red card just 10 minutes into the match. This game might have been his last, as his contract is up in the summer. Spartak capitalized by scoring twice in the first half. After the break, Fernando Constanza's actions reduced Krylia Sovetov to nine men. However, the scoreline remained unchanged after that.

Fakel Voronezh
🎙 Igor Shalimov was visibly emotional after the missed victory against Pari NN: “I'm not satisfied with the result. How can you be happy when you're leading 1-0 and playing against ten men? In terms of effort, there are no questions... Then we conceded that penalty. It was ridiculous. In these matches, we haven't conceded a single normal goal. It's either silly handballs, losing possession in our half, swinging and missing the ball, or set pieces. Set pieces are always the defenders' mistake. That's the result.” “Our fans deserve better; they deserve a team in the RPL. Effort is 10 out of 10, but what's the point?” Shalimov added during the press conference.
❌ In the upcoming match, Max Dziov will be absent due to a severe injury sustained in the game against Rubin, which has kept him out for the last three rounds. Ilnur Alshin, who scored against Pari NN, will also be unavailable due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Krylya Sovetov
🎙 Krylia Sovetov's head coach Igor Osinkin commented on the defeat to Spartak: "Apart from the goal that came out of nowhere and the questionable penalty, our opponents didn't have any real chances. As for the red cards, I'd like to take a closer look. But the incidents didn't seem like they warranted such intervention. We fought hard. We did everything we could. But with just nine men, our chances were minimal."
🎤 Krylia Sovetov's general director Robert Ter-Abrahamyan discussed when the club will make a decision regarding Igor Osinkin's future: "Right now, we're focused on licensing, the court case with RT-Kapital, and the upcoming crucial match against Fakel. It's not going to be an easy week, but I'm confident we will manage. Because we are one team, not just on the field, but in life! I can say one thing: Igor Vitalyevich is a priority option for us... We'll be ready to announce all decisions on the club's official platforms after thorough discussions next week."
❌ Glenn Bale and Fernando Constanza will miss the upcoming match due to suspensions. Meanwhile, Ivan Lomayev remains on the injury list.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
Krylya Sovetov hold the edge in yellow cards this season, with an average of 2.4 compared to 2. In their head-to-head clash in the first round, both teams received two bookings each. Fakel have managed no more than two cautions in 8 of their last 9 matches. The same applies to 6 of the last 8 games for the Volzhane. Therefore, placing a bet on total yellow cards under 4.5 seems reasonable.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Matches involving Fakel typically have a low-scoring nature, largely because they struggle to find the net themselves. In 22 matches held in Voronezh, no more than two goals have been scored. Thus, a bet on total goals under 2.5 appears well-founded.
🚩 Corner Prediction
This season, Fakel have a slight advantage in corners, averaging 4.6 compared to 4.5. Recently, they've improved in this area, reflecting their attacking play. At home, they delivered 14 corners against Lokomotiv and seven against Rostov, outplaying their opponents in this aspect both times. Therefore, we suggest betting on Fakel to win the corner count.
Editorial Prediction
Both teams are currently struggling, making the match outcome highly unpredictable. However, it's worth noting that their head-to-head meetings tend to be low-scoring affairs, suggesting a bet on under 2.5 goals could be wise. As we've identified, this is practically a sure bet for Fakel's home games.
