Krasnodar - Valencia Prediction, Picks and Tips
Return of the eighth finals of the Europa League, Krasnodar-Valencia. We go for the 3 or more goals in the total of the match. The 2-1 first leg at the Mestalla leaves the tie quite open. A goal from Krasnodar would give the quarter to the locals, while Valencia must leave in search of a goal that reassures the tie.
The goal scored outside the Krasnodar home gives the Russian side a lot of life, since, as I said, only one goal gives them the ticket to the quarterfinals. Therefore, I do not think they'll wait to see what Valencia does, but I think that going in search of the goal as soon as possible can make the Krasnodar see the game with different eyes. In his league, he is 2 to 5 points behind Zenit, and is the most goalscorer team in the Russian Premier League, averaging about 1.79 goals / game.
The Spanish side starts with an advantage in this match, but it should not be too much, as a goal scored by Krasnodar would leave them out of the Europa League. For me, favorite to take the tie and one of the great candidates for the European title, although we already know the surprises that may appear in Europe. As I said, they should look for that goal that gives them some peace of mind and "kill" the tie. Marcelino will have the Rodrigo, Gameiro, Guedes and company in attack, men who are caressing the goal in the last days, as against Girona (2-3), Krasnodar in the first leg (2-1), Athletic (2-0) ) or Betis (1-0). They have not lost since the first leg of the Cup in Getafe (1-0), chaining 13 games without falling (8V and 4E), averaging 1'11 goals / game, a figure that has risen in the last few days after the bad start of the League. Valencia passed.
