Tough game this one between Terek Groznai and Rubin Kazan . Tough in the real sense of the word ! Terek plays in an area that is very dangerous to live in and this is what all teams who play here have in mind .

            These two teams met before and each time Rubin Kazan had first chance , one time winning 5-1 , other time obtaining 1-1 . Rubin is first in the league and they play pretty open football . They deserve to be on first spot but this is a nice surprise ! There were few people expecting Rubin Kazan to lead league by now . Their squad is good enough to beat most of the teams but not that good .

Rubin Kazan won almost every time playing away at much better teams than Terek . Rubin defeated away Dinamo Moscow 2-0 , FC Moscow 2-1 , Zenit 3-1 , Khimik 4-0 , Lokomotiv 1-0 away . Unbelievable results ! They are no doubt a pleasant surprise but as I remember last year they were playing better at home than away from home so I expect to revert to this form from any moment .

Terek has main weapon home ground although they didn’t achieved great results here , they should improve in order to avoid relegation . They lost here against Amkar 1-2 and Tomsk 1-3 but also defeated some important teams like Spartak Moscow .

I believe today Terek should be given credit to win .

My bet :

Terek – Rubin Kazan AH 1/4:0 home win @1.93 Pinnacle 7/10
