Football Bet of the Day: Bulls to give Rubin a run for their money

Rubin Kazan v FK Krasnodar
Saturday 17:30

Athlone 1 Drogheda 2 in Ireland last night. We wondering whether all of those Irish eyes are still smiling the morning after.

Because ours aren't - and we've got a long journey to make.

Tenth in the Russian Premier League, Rubin Kazan are enjoying a thoroughly average campaign. Valeriy Chalyi's men have at least scored in 8/9 home games under the new(-ish) boss. Five of those games delivered Over 2.5 Goals in total and that's exactly what our bet of the day is going to be.

Third-placed FK Krasnodar are on a winning streak of five. Oleg Kononov's Bulls have the league's best away record (W7-D3-L3) and have scored more regularly on the road than anyone else (23 in 13). Seven of their last 10 away days have brought Over 2.5 Goals - and that too suggests the price for another high scorer this afternoon is too big.
