This is a bold and risky bet by all means, but, there are enough reasons to expect a more difficult game for Krylya than the -1.5 handicap suggests.

The trick here is that Krylya’s amazing run of form in 2021 has a lot to do with their favourable schedule. Most likely, not many have noticed, but if we review whom the team has faced since the season in Russian 2nd league resumed we will have the following:

Dynamo Bryansk (20th position)

Irtysh Omsk (17th position)

Tom Tomsk (21st position)

Chertanovo (19th position)

All 4 teams in the last 4 rounds - from relegation zone. 2 of them - in terrible shape and without proper financing.

The only 2 serious opponents faced were Nizhniy Novgorod (2nd position), whom Krylya narrowly defeated 1-0 and FC Khimki in the Cup, who played 75 minutes with 10 men after an extremely early red card.

With all due respect to Krylya, they are not as massive and flawless as the current run suggests.

Neftekhimik will be one of the most difficult tests they’ve faced in the new year as the club from Nizhnekamsk is in fine form themselves. After appointing former head coach of Dinamo Moscow Mr. Novikov, the team’s gone unbeaten in 2021, taking a respectful 1-1 draw from Alania in Vladikavkaz and then winning all of their other games, which included in-form Tekstilshik and, basically, the same teams as Krylya had faced in their opening rounds of the new year.

Kirill Novikov is unbeaten in charge of Nizhnekamsk with a 4-1-0 record. He’s brough some Dinamo Moscow talents into the club in the winter break and has so far done a really good job improving Neftekhimik.

This is a risky call, something I occasionally do on my account, but it is worth a shot. On the reserve pitch (Krylya can’t use their main arena these days and play on artificial pitch of old stadium), without regular goalkeeper Lomaev (gone to U21 Euro with Russia U21) and against the first serious opponent in weeks - I feel, Krylya will have to sweat a lot to cover the -1.5 handicap.

无论如何，这都是一个大胆和冒险的赌注，但是，有足够的理由期待苏维埃翼赢不了两球或以上。

关键在于苏维埃翼在2021年的出色表现与他们有利的赛程有很大关系。最有可能的是，没有多少人注意到，但是如果我们回顾一下俄罗斯第二联赛恢复以来球队面临的对手，:

迪纳摩·布扬斯克(第20位)

额尔齐斯木木斯克(第17位)

汤姆·托木斯克(第21位)

Chertanovo(19位置)

过去4轮的所有4支球队都来自保级区。其中两家——情况很糟糕，而且没有适当的融资。

唯一遇到的两个严重的对手是下诺夫哥罗德(第二名)，克利亚以1-0险胜下诺夫哥罗德，希姆基在杯赛上被红牌罚下，打了75分钟，只有10人。

恕我直言，苏维埃翼，他们并不像目前的竞选那样庞大和完美。

涅夫特希米克将是他们在新的一年里面临的最困难的考验之一，这支来自下日涅卡姆斯克的球队状态良好。后任命诺维科夫莫斯科迪那摩队前主教练,球队的2021年不败,在尊重从Alania在弗拉季卡夫卡兹1:1的平局,然后赢得所有的其他游戏,其中包括状态正佳的Tekstilshik,基本上,相同的团队森在首场面对轮。

基里尔·诺维科夫在执教下日涅卡姆斯克时以4-1-1 -0的战绩保持不败。他在冬季转会期间引进了一些莫斯科迪纳摩的天才球员，到目前为止，他在提高奈夫特希米克方面做得非常好。

看好下卡姆斯克石油最多输一球。
