Football Bet of the Day: Sparks to fly in Moscow

Tobias Gourlay fancies Rostov to nick a goal at Spartak Moscow this afternoon

Spartak Moscow v Rostov
Sunday 16:00

In Croatia yesterday, Inter Zapresic held Hadjuk Split to a 1-1 draw that landed our BTTS bet. If we can find another winner today, we'll finish our shift with a weekly profit.

The search has taken us back to where we began this week, in Russia. This season, eight of Rostov's nine Russian Premier League away games have produced goals at both ends and we like the even money about BTTS in their match at Domenico Tedesco's Spartak Moscow this afternoon.

Ninth-placed Spartak have conceded on 5/7 appearances at Otkritie Arena recently, including 3/3 when hosting teams from the current top six. The reverse fixture in Rostov finished 2-2.

Valeri Karpin's Rostov have conceded in all nine of their previous away games this season, leaking at least twice in 7/9. At the other end, the Tough Guys have scored in 8/9, striking twice or more in 5/9. At a pick 'em price, we fancy they can help yet another of their hosts land BTTS.
