Team form
Cherepovets
Spartak Moscow have won four of their last five games. They defeated SKA St. Petersburg 3-1 and CSKA Moscow 3-2 at home, and claimed a 3-2 victory at Magnitogorsk. Over this five-game span, they scored 17 goals while conceding only 6, averaging 3.4 goals per game. Their sole loss came 1-0 at home to Nizhny Novgorod. The hosts are in commanding form and have shown they can break down opponents consistently.
Spartak Moscow
Cherepovets have won just one of their last five matches. They beat Lada 1-0 at home but have since lost three consecutive games: 0-2 to Vladivostok, 0-2 to Dynamo Moscow, and most notably 0-8 to Spartak Moscow on 12 September. Across these five games, they managed only 3 goals while conceding 15, averaging 0.6 goals per game and 3.0 against. The visitors are in severe offensive decline and have shown they cannot contain Spartak's attack.
Head-to-head
No previous head-to-head meetings are available. However, Cherepovets' recent encounter with Spartak on 12 September is highly instructive: they were comprehensively beaten 0-8 at home, revealing a stark gulf in current form and execution between the two sides.
Key factors
The decisive factor is the disparity in recent performance. Spartak have scored 17 goals in five games while Cherepovets have managed 3. Spartak's defensive record is also superior: 6 conceded versus Cherepovets' 15. The September meeting demonstrated Spartak's capacity to dominate Cherepovets completely. Cherepovets' inability to score—they have been shut out in three of their last five games—suggests they will struggle to create meaningful chances against a Spartak side that has conceded only 1.2 goals per game recently. Spartak's home advantage and current momentum compound the visitors' difficulties.
Prediction
The statistical model strongly favours an away win. Spartak's offensive output (3.4 goals per game) and defensive solidity (1.2 conceded per game) stand in sharp contrast to Cherepovets' offensive struggles (0.6 goals per game) and defensive fragility (3.0 conceded per game). The September precedent—an 8-0 victory for Spartak—indicates the scale of the gulf between these teams in current form. While Cherepovets may not lose by such a margin again, the fundamentals point decisively toward a Spartak victory. The model's confidence reflects the substantial advantage held by the hosts.
Spartak Moscow are clear favourites to win. The hosts' recent form, offensive potency, and defensive stability all point to a comfortable home victory. Cherepovets' poor run and inability to score make them unlikely to trouble Spartak significantly. Back the home win with confidence.
