THE PREDICTION

The Russian Premier League concluded last season in bizarre and fairly surreal circumstances. As Russia waged war on Ukraine, following the February invasion, football in Ukraine stopped but Russia continued. Russian clubs have been banned from UEFA competitions for an indefinite amount of time and that has, as unimportant as it seems in the circumstances, killed the competitiveness and meaningfulness with little to play for between top spot and the relegation zone. So, that will have another bearing on the standard and style of these matches - and that must be noted. Following promotion last season, Orenburg will simply be looking to avoid relegation back down this season. They face a Krylya Sovetov side that finished firmly in the middle-of-the-table and they were quite dull throughout the campaign so a low-scoring encounter is expected for this opening game.
