CSK vs AT preview

In their previous five meetings, CSKA Moscow have emerged winners on three occasions, whereas Arsenal Tula have registered two victories over their Russian Premier League rivals. The last time Arsenal Tula visited the VEB Arena, they registered a narrow 2-1 win during friendly matches in September last year. However, it seems that Arsenal Tula have mirrored the fortunes of their English namesake, Arsenal in the Russian Premier League this season. The 11th-placed side have struggled to string together a run of victories and have lost 8 games so far. 

Based on this, CSKA Moscow will be the favourites to emerge winners in this fixture. With a record that reads 10 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in 17 games so far, CSKA Moscow have done well for themselves this season. However, manager Viktor Goncharenko will hope that his side turns up in full force, as a win over Arsenal Tula will see them leapfrog Lokomotiv Moscow to sit second on the Russian Premier League table.
