CSKA Moscow as hosts will face the team Baltica in the "Russia. Cup. RPL path. Group stage" championship. The game will take place at the stadium Арена ЦСКА (Москва) - 18 September 2025 year.
These teams have not played against each other for a long time, so when predicting, the head-to-head history should not be considered..
Let's try to understand and analyze which team is stronger.
CSKA Moscow: It is in first place in the standings out of 4. Coach Селестини, Фабио continues working with the team, which is in amazing form. Let's take a look at the statistics:
The last time команда провела игру дома против клуба из города Ростов-на-Дону - Ростов 9 месяцев назад. The team ЦСКА failed to secure a victory at home. The score was 1:2 which marked a loss with a narrow margin.. . There were yellow cards for the team - 2 cards. In the previous match the team ЦСКА played an away match against the club Крылья Советов, it took place 10 месяцев назад. The ЦСКА team managed to secure an away win with a minimal advantage. The score was 1:2. . 1 yellow cards were received during the game.
Baltica: Information for thought:
The last time 10 месяцев назад the team played an away match against the club Нефтехимик. The Балтика team managed to secure an away win with a minimal advantage. The score was 1:2. . There were yellow cards for the team - 3 cards. Before this 10 месяцев назад the team played a home match against the club СКА Хабаровск. The team Балтика managed to secure a victory at home "without conceding," with a score of 2:0. . The team earned 1 yellow cards during the game. At 82 minutes, player Miroshnichenko, Nikita scored an own goal.
In the match between CSKA and Baltika, the favorite is CSKA, considering their stability at home in the Russian Cup and excellent record in head-to-head matches. Baltika uses a rotated squad, which makes them vulnerable. In this scenario, a logical bet would be on CSKA to win at odds of 1.79. Additionally, the "army men" have a high motivation to win, as they want to reclaim the leadership after their previous loss.
CSKA, after the defeat in Rostov, will be focused on victory and will show a more aggressive game. CSKA is the favorite in the match against "Baltika", especially since they will be playing at home and will want to make amends. "Baltika" can be dangerous on counterattacks, but their low motivation due to already securing a spot in the Russian Cup play-offs may affect their effectiveness. The preferred score is 2-0 in favor of CSKA. A total of less than 2.5 goals is a likely outcome due to Baltika's low scoring ability.
My prediction for the Russian Cup match between CSKA and Baltika is both teams to score. Baltika has shown good form in the championship, while CSKA may field a tired squad due to their busy schedule. Both teams are capable of scoring goals, but their defenses are not always solid. I expect a tense match where both teams will find ways to score against each other. In the end, I predict that in this match, the goal alarm will ring from both sides of the field.
In the match between CSKA and "Baltika", I recommend a bet on the home team to win with a handicap (-1.5) for several reasons: 1) The head coach of "Baltika" hinted that reserves will play. 2) "Baltika" is focused on the championship, not the Cup. 3) CSKA has a deeper squad and home advantage. All these factors speak in favor of a confident victory for CSKA.
In the Russian Cup match, CSKA is facing Baltika. The army team has already beaten the opponent away with a crushing score of 0:2. Baltika prioritizes the championship where they are fighting to survive. It is likely that today CSKA will continue their successful game at home, especially in attack. A minimum of two goals is expected from the hosts, considering their powerful offense. Baltika is unlikely to be able to resist the army team, and is more likely to lose this match. Therefore, I predict a victory for CSKA and at least two goals scored by them.
