SSN BET - Match of the Day: CSKA - Real Madrid / 02.10.2018

Congratulations to all on the resumption of the Champions League! For us with @smartell, this means hard work with match analysis. As part of the SSN Bet today was considered a match between Juventus and Young Boys, well, I probably will take the match CSKA - Real Madrid.

CSKA, Russia

CSKA did not start the championship very successfully, having failed to beat the underdog FK Krylya Sovetov and lost at home to FK Rostov. However, Viktor Goncharenko coped with the pressure and gradually put the team in a quality game, with which she already scored 16 points in the Russian Premier League. At the moment, CSKA are fourth in the table, behind the leader Zenit by six points. In the first round of the Champions League, CSKA played in the Czech Republic with Victoria Pilsen and was close to losing. The home team in the first half scored two goals and controlled the match. However, after the break, the “Army men” got down to work thoroughly and managed to recoup - first Fyodor Chalov reduced the backlog in the account, then, in compensated time, Nikola Vlašić realized a penalty and the Russians pulled out one point.

Real Madrid, Spain

Real after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane noticeably slowed down in the game, while Julen Lopetegui does not justify the trust of the fans. If the teams from the middle of the tournament table "galaktikos" has no problems, then with stronger opponents can not cope. Last week, the "creamy" played with Sevilla and Atletico and in these two games could take only one point, without scoring a single goal, and the Sevilians completely lost 0: 3 at a party. In the Champions League things are going better for Real Madrid - in the first round at the Santiago Bernabéu Roma was mercilessly defeated. At the end of the first half, opened the score of Isco, then in the second half of the meeting, Gareth Bale and Mariano Diaz scored a goal. The victory was confident and fully deserved. At the weekend during the Madrid derby with Atletico during the break Gareth Bale was replaced, which caused great concern among the fans of the club, because the Welshman finally scored a great shape. However, the worst fears were not confirmed - the player needs only a short pause, and he will not play at Luzhniki today.

STATISTICS AND PERSONAL MEETINGS

• In the four home games of this season, CSKA suffered two defeats.
• In the past, the Champions League CSKA lost two home games out of three
• Five of the last six away matches in the Champions League Real Madrid won
• Real Madrid scores in each of the last 12 away matches

CSKA this summer seriously updated, which is reflected in the game team. But Goncharenko keeps the situation under control and is achieving results with the youth. In the first round, CSKA saved the heroic draw, but it didn’t look very convincing, especially in the first half. Young players still have to temper in the tournament, so it’s hardly worth hoping for a sensation today. As for Real Madrid, despite all the difficulties, they are capable of earning points with teams of the level of CSKA at one class only, which they will surely do today at Luzhniki. Bookmakers do not give very high odds for this match, but I think in live you can catch a good odds on W2 (-1) or Both Team Score. Of these two, the first one looks more convincing.
