Today the team of the site Corner-stats.com decided to look on Moscow derby between the leaders of the championship Lokomotiv and Spartak.
The history of Moscow derby started in 1936. Spartak was the winner of the majority matches (over 50 percent) although in current season (2017/18) Lokomotiv is the leader with 8 points gap in the tournament table from Spartak (2 place in the list).
That’s why the match must be intriguing because in case Spartak loses, the points gap will increase even more and it will open the way to clear Lokomotiv‘s championship. Also a draw for Spartak is not satisfying result because theoretically after draws three teams could fall ahead the team in the tournament table.
Corner-stats.com team as always draws its attention to corners.
We believe that in this case, analysis of statistics of the last team matches will not be helpful. The reason is that teams during the whole season play with encounters of different levels and respectively use different tactics and styles of playing. That is why it’s more relevant to look on head to heads matches and also similar team matches. It is the matches in which the team played with opponents that are approximately close to the current encounter in power.
Last H2H matches stats argues in favor of a great number of corners in the match as three matches have finished with total corners over 11 and two matches ended with total corners 9.
Bookmakers defined the main line on total corners 9 therefore let’s look at Asian stats of total corners over 9 at Russian premier league:
-
6 out of 8 H2H matches (herewith 5 last matches) in the matches of 2014-2018 years;
-
4 out of 5 home matches of Moscow Lokomotiv with the teams that are similar to Spartak in the championship in 2015-2018 years;
-
7 out of 11 away matches of Spartak with the teams that are similar to Lokomotiv in the championship in 2016-2018 years.
The team of the site Corner-stats.com believes that Spartak will put maximum efforts to win in this match that’s why it’s will be many corners. It means that bet on Asian total corners over 9 at 1.875 odds at Bet365 will make a profit for you.
