CSKA Moscow welcome Krylya Sovetov to the VEB Arena for the second leg of the Russian Cup's semifinals. The first leg was an entertaining draw match as both teams scored two goals apiece to record a 2-2 score line. It has not been an amazing campaign in the league for CSKA Moscow as they occupy the 4th position in the standings. They are already in the European competitions places in the league standings, but will fancy their chances of getting into the Champions league playoff positions. With CSKA Moscow boasting a record of having won five of their last six meetings with Krylya Sovetov in the Russian league, I will be backing them to win this encounter for the following reasons:

Firstly. The home ground of CSKA Moscow has become a stronghold for them in recent times, and they have also gone ahead to maintain a good run of form recently. They have managed to win their last three home games while scoring a staggering eight goals across them. And they have won ten, while losing only two in their last 14 home games. Their form recently has been in an upward trajectory. They have avoided defeats in their last four matches, winning three of them, while scoring a total of nine goals. The attacking prowess of CSKA Moscow has proven to be the catalyst in their recent run of good form. This is what will most likely make a difference in this encounter with Krylya Sovetov.

Secondly. Krylya Sovetov are having a dry spell in form right now. They have failed to record a victory in their last six games, losing three of them while conceding ten goals along the way. Their performance in the Cup competition up to this point has not been convincing. They had managed to scale through previous stages based on mostly luck and due to the profligacy of their opponents.

CSKA Moscow played a 2-2 draw with Krylya Sovetov in the first leg of this match. Not winning the first leg was all down to CSKA's lapses. I expect them to get it right this time around, with their home fans backing them, and come away with a victory tonight.

对于莫斯科中央陆军来说，这并不是一个令人惊讶的赛季，因为他们在积分榜上排名第四。他们已经在欧洲联赛的积分榜上占据了一席之地，但是他们将会憧憬进入欧冠季后赛的机会。莫斯科中央陆军在最近6次与克里亚-索韦托夫的比赛中取得了5胜的战绩，我支持他们赢得这场比赛，原因如下:

首先。最近，莫斯科中央陆军的主场已经成为他们的大本营，他们最近也保持了良好的状态。他们在过去的三场主场比赛中取得了胜利，并打进了惊人的8球。他们在过去的14个主场比赛中只输了2场，赢了10场。他们的状态最近一直在上升。他们在最近的四场比赛中避免了失败，其中赢了三场，总共进了9球。莫斯科中央陆军的进攻能力已经被证明是他们最近良好状态的催化剂。这是最有可能在这次与克里亚·索韦托夫的遭遇中产生影响的。

其次。克里亚·索韦托夫现在处于状态干燥期。在过去的6场比赛中，他们没有取得一场胜利，输掉了3场比赛，丢了10个球。到目前为止，他们在杯赛中的表现还不能令人信服。他们成功地通过了前几个阶段，主要是靠运气和对手的挥霍。

在这场比赛的首回合，莫斯科中央陆军2-2战平了克里亚·索维托夫。首回合的失利全是因为中央陆军的失误。我希望他们这次能在主场球迷的支持下取得胜利，并在今晚带走一场胜利。
