Command Analysis

Arsenal Tula

Even before the start of the season, it was clear that the Tula team was among the contenders for promotion. At this stage, the Gunners are confirming their intentions with results on the field. Four victories in a row allow Alexander Storozhuk's team to lead the tournament table alone with 12 points, having a three-point lead over their current opponent. In the last round, the team beat Krasnoyarsk Yenisei (2:1).

Neftekhimik

The team has been scoring a lot of points at the start for many seasons, but then the game goes downhill. The Nizhnekamsk team had a great start to the current championship, winning three victories in the past matches. After the fourth round, Neftekhimik is in second place in the tournament table with nine points to its credit. In the last confrontation, Kirill Novikov's charges beat Rotor (1:0), but were crushed by Chaika (0:4) in the previous game.

The Tula team shows stable results, and we believe that today "Arsenal" will arrange a holiday for the fans in Tula.
Prediction: Arsenal win with odds of 1.83
Bet on the outcome
The match will most likely be dominated by Arsenal with a large number of scoring opportunities. However, the home team has finished the last three out of four matches with a total under, and in the last match the visitors scored less than three goals. We can assume that there will be no goal-scoring extravaganza in this game either.
Forecast - total under 1.5 goals with odds of 2.40
Betting on Team Goals
We believe that the opponents will be cautious and will spend most of the time on the defensive. In the last three matches of the home team out of four, there was no exchange of goals. We expect that in this game, both clubs will not score.
Prediction - both teams will not score with odds of 1.50
