Match analysis
Makhachkala have conceded three or more goals in three of their last five home matches, and that leaky record sits behind Superior's Over 1.5 goals pick against CSKA Moscow on 17 September, priced at 1.40 and rated 71 percent. CSKA have scored in four of their own last five, adding an away threat to a game already expected to produce goals.
Makhachkala's defense has leaked three goals three times running
Makhachkala have shipped three or more goals in three of their last five matches, including back to back defeats by 0-3 and 1-3. CSKA Moscow have scored in four of their own last five outings and are averaging 1.6 goals a game, so a home side conceding at this rate against a travelling attack that keeps finding the net gives the total a straightforward route past 1.5.
Makhachkala's 0-1 defeat is the low scoring template that beats this
Over 1.5 only loses here on a 0-0, 1-0 or 0-1 scoreline, and Makhachkala have already produced exactly that this stretch, a 0-1 home defeat with a single goal in the whole match. CSKA have scored in every other game this run, yet if Makhachkala's defense holds the way it did that night and CSKA's finishing goes quiet too, the total stalls below 1.5.
