Anzhi are the current leaders in the Russian Division 1 but only by a slender lead over a whole host of teams behind them. The chasing pack include the likes of Sibir, who sits fourth, only two points from the top. After fifteen matches into the season, Anzhi are still unbeaten in the league thanks to their decent defence but as for Sibir, attacking wise is their real strength. With both teams doing so well in recent weeks and nothing to separate the two, the game could easily be separated by a defensive lapse rather than a moment of brilliance.

The last four encounters between these two top teams in the Russian division1 have only witnessed two goals in 360minutes of football played which suggests how closely these games are contested. I think both teams will adopt a cautious approach right from the start and hence I will be going for the Half Time Draw here. Anzhi have only gone behind once at half time on their travels this season.

Pick: Half Time Draw @1.90
