Tip and bets
Krylia Sovetov had an excellent season with Igor Osinkin - the team showed dynamic attacking football, hammering 100 goals into the opponents' goal. Of course, it will be more challenging for the club from Samara to compete in the Premier League, but the team has its style, they have a backbone, and Krylia Sovetov will certainly play to win at home. Akhmat traditionally plays weaker in away games, so it makes sense to bet on the hosts.
We believe the hosts have a better chance of winning. Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) to Krylia Sovetov.
Krylia Sovetov play attacking football and score a lot at home. We see no reason why they would sway from this today. But Akhmat will not easily give away the points, so we are looking forward to goals from both teams.
Our second bet - both to score.
