CSK vs AT Dream11 prediction, top picks, schedule and all match details
CSK vs AT Dream11 take - Arsenal Tula will hope to repeat last year's friendly victory at the VEB Arena as they look to climb up the table against CSKA Moscow.
A match-up of contrasting fortunes is set to take place as third-placed CSKA Moscow take on Arsenal Tula on Monday, December 2 (10:00 PM IST) during the Matchweek 18 round of fixtures in the Russian Premier League. CSKA Moscow have won 3 of their last 5 games in all competitions. Arsenal Tula, on the other hand, have lost 3 of their last 5 games in all competitions and have registered just 1 win during that period.
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.
