After the summer shake up in the dugout Moscow Torpedo have looked like a completely different side in the First League and the boys are winning matches like they dey chop breakfast every weekend. The early results against Ural and Ulyanovsk Volga already show the team is serious about climbing back to the big stage and the new home ground wey go soon open na extra motivation for the players and the fans wey dey support them from the stands. Last season plenty wahala with the management made the start rough but this time the momentum dey build early and a few more wins fit put them on top of the table before the season even reach mid point.
Team Form
- Torpedo won both opening fixtures and sit among the early leaders in the division
- Shinnik remain unbeaten in fourteen matches stretching back to last spring including a home draw with Torpedo
- New coach at Torpedo has delivered two clean victories while Shinnik picked up a draw and a win in their first two games
- Torpedo home advantage plus the new arena factor dey give them extra edge for this clash
Shinnik also changed their coach in the off season and the side under Denis Boyarintsev dey play with plenty confidence right now. Their unbeaten run dey impressive but the trip to the Moscow region go test that record because Torpedo under the new manager have already beaten them twice. The visitors fit still nick a goal because they dey create chances but stopping the home side from scoring two or three times go be very hard work on the day.
Tactical Analysis
- Torpedo show good attacking patterns and solid defending that fit take them into the top four
- Shinnik strength na their recent consistency but they go struggle against a side buzzing with early season form
- Both teams dey capable of scoring so the game fit open up in the second half when legs start to tire
- Home side dey better at controlling the midfield and creating clear chances in front of goal
Plenty things point to an open contest where the home side go dominate but the visitors go still find space on the counter. The new coach at Torpedo has already shown he dey like high pressing and quick transitions which fit create plenty goal mouth action. Shinnik go need to defend deep and look for set piece chances if they want anything from the game but the overall pattern suggest both sides go get on the score sheet before the final whistle.
Betting Proposal
After looking at the recent results team news and the way both sides dey play my types point to an entertaining match where goals go come from both ends. The home side dey strong but Shinnik have shown they fit score even on tough away days so the value dey on both teams finding the net.
Both teams to score yes at 2.05
