Command Analysis

PFC Sochi

Robert Moreno's team won their first victory of the season in the last round, beating Yaroslavl's Shinnik away (2:0), and in the previous game they suffered a defeat at Fisht by Khabarovsk's SKA (1:2). The Sochi team has the most expensive roster among all the teams in the First League, but so far this has not affected the number of points scored. After four rounds, the team is in 10th place in the standings with four points to its credit and is eight points behind the leader.

Chernomorets Novorossiysk

The club management did not expect the team to fight for survival, and the current 15th place in the tournament table is clearly not in the plans of the " sailors " bosses. This means that the coaching chair under Vadim Garanin is starting to wobble, and each subsequent game could be the last. The defeat from "Baltika" (0:2) in the last round was the third in four matches, and the victory over "Ural" (3:2) was just luck.

We can assume that the hosts will be cautious in today's game and will try not to concede. In Sochi's last game, there was no exchange of goals, and we believe that both clubs will not score in this game either.
Prediction - both teams will not score with odds of 1.77

Most likely, the game will be dominated by the hosts with a large number of scoring opportunities. However, Sochi finished three of the four recent matches with a total under, and we believe that the goal extravaganza will not take place.
