CSKA can lose to Baltika only because of its own laxity, Kuznetsov said

Former CSKA football player Dmitry Kuznetsov predicts the army team’s victory over Baltika in the ½ final match of the RPL Fonbet Russian Cup.

CSKA will play with Baltika in the return match of the semi-final of the RPL FONBET Russian Cup on Tuesday, April 16. The first match ended in victory for the army team with a score of 1:0.

— CSKA and Baltika are two teams of different levels. In this case, Muscovites must win at home. CSKA knows that it is playing to reach the final. This is, first of all, prestige. It can only be difficult for a team if it doesn’t take its opponent seriously. And if the “red-blues” find weaknesses and places in “Baltika”, then I think that CSKA is obliged to defeat them. “Baltika” can win only with crazy luck and laxity of Muscovites.

As the practice of cup games shows, there will be few goals. “Baltika” will first of all monitor the safety of its goal, and then seek its fortune on counterattacks. It’s logical. “I would play like that myself,” Kuznetsov told the Championship.
