Most recently, the teams met in the quarterfinals of the RPL route of the Russian Cup. The match ended in a draw – 1:1. For CSKA, this result can be described as positive. First of all, the match was played in Rostov-on-Don. Secondly, starting in the 77th minute, the military team played in the minority.
The modest selection and injuries led to the red and blue squad having little depth. Igor Diveev and Maxim Mukhin will not be able to help the team for a long time. It is reported that the midfielder will not play again until May. The defender expressed his hope of being able to resume training in the general group at the beginning of February.
Despite the absence of important players, Vladimir Fedotov is doing well. In the last seven rounds of the Russian Championship, his players only lost to Dinamo (2:3). They also tied with Spartak (2-2), Rubin (0-0) and Fakel (1-1). They defeated Baltika (1-0), Krasnodar (1-0) and Pari NN (3-2).
In particular, thanks to Fedotov’s trust, the 20-year-old midfielder Abbosbek Faizullaev, acquired in the summer transfer window, very quickly adapted to the rhythm of the RPL and became the main player of the club. In his last 13 games in all official competitions, he scored two goals and provided six assists.

The game progress of other army recruits, Kelven and Víctor Dávila, are also gradually visible. The defender scored a goal and three assists in the last 11 games. The striker, in turn, participated in six of the last eight RPL matches, in which he scored three goals and one assist.
Rostov improved well in the autumn part of the season, but still suffers from many problems. Thanks to them, Valery Karpin’s team is only in tenth place in the RPL standings. The difference with sixth-placed CSKA is five points.
The Rostov team demonstrates attractive attacking football, but really lacks strength in defense. In 16 games in the Russian championship, the yellows conceded 27 goals, only Sochi, which closes the classification, has more. A considerable part of these goals weigh on Sergei Pesyakov’s conscience.
Despite the large number of mistakes, Karpin continues to trust Pesyakov. He is also protected by Rostov goalkeeping coach Vitaly Kafanov. He recently claimed that Sergei trains more than anyone else. Perhaps this is true, but what good is it if the goalkeeper continues to show mediocre performance and misses a lot?
In addition, Rostov residents have big problems traveling. He did not win any of the seven Russian championship games away from home. There are two draws: with Baltika (2-2) and Orenburg (1-1). Only Kaliningrads are having worse results than the yellow-blue at home this season.
You can bet on CSKA’s victory in the next match in bookmakers with an odds of 1.85. Five of the last eight direct confrontations were won by the red and blue. Three other matches were played in Rostov-on-Don and were marked by draws.
Fedotov’s team also does not perform well away from home, but this season at the VEB Arena they suffered only two defeats and drew the same number of times. It is also worth noting that Willian Rocha, who asked for a replacement in the last face-to-face due to discomfort, will be able to play in the next match. There were no serious consequences.
Interestingly, agent Vagner Love, 39, recently said that his client dreams of returning and finishing his career at CSKA. It is reported that the player’s side has already contacted the military team and made it clear that they are interested in this transfer, but the decision depends on the Moscow club.
Love played for the red and blue from 2004 to 2013. As part of the military team, he participated in 259 games, in which he scored 124 goals and provided 53 assists. Fans will surely be happy to see the legend return. In any case, transferring him will definitely not ruin the weather. The experience and technique of the attacker will not be superfluous.
Prediction and bets for the match RPL CSKA – Rostov on December 3, 2023
The fact that the match will be played in Moscow gives CSKA a big advantage. The army team performs much more confidently at home, plus Rostov behaves very poorly away from home. The yellow-blues get lost a lot and sometimes have mental problems. The reds and blues, despite limited reserves, are looking good in the fall part of the season. The history of the last eight head-to-head matches is completely on their side.
Tender: CSKA wins with odds of 1.85.
