Sokol vs. Ufa: First League Match Betting Tip
On August 18, Saratov will host a match of the sixth round of the First League, in which Sokol will host Ufa. Sokol continues to stick to its line from match to match, playing defensively. The "feathered ones" do not play themselves, but they do not allow their opponents to do so. This approach brings points to the Saratov team, and they do not need anything else to be happy. How will today's match end and what bets should be made in the match?
Command Analysis
Sokol Saratov
Russian FederationCurrent form
Before the start of the season, the Belarusian coach of the team analyzed his modest choice of forwards and decided to build the game from defense. As it turned out, Alexey Baga was not wrong at all. In five rounds, the Saratov team conceded only two goals, while gaining nine points and occupying a high place in the table. Everyone understands perfectly well that the "feathered ones" will sag over the distance, but their task for the season is to maintain their registration in the First League. It becomes clear that with such a style of play, Sokol can cope with the set goal. In the last game, the club drew with Baltika (1:1), and the game before that with Ural (0:0).
The entire team deserves a mention, but we'll single out Yegor Karpitsky. In the last match, the Belarusian only appeared in the second half, but managed to help score a goal in the final seconds. In total, he's already scored two goals. For a 20-year-old footballer, he's great.
After five rounds, Alexey Baga's team is in seventh place in the tournament table and has nine points, lagging behind the second-placed Ural by one point
Interesting trends for betting
- The number “1” was in the final score in seven of the last eight matches of the Saratov team in the First League.
- At home, Sokol has not lost in six matches in the First League (four wins and two draws).
- The team had not conceded more than one goal in their previous six home games.
Approximate composition : Kosarevsky; Dudiev, Ivanov, Zabelin, Sinyak; Chobanov; Sasin, Poluboyarinov, Guz, Ermolin; Maksimenko
FC Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
The Ufa team is also on a streak, but it is not as joyful as the Saratov team. In the last round, Evgeny Kharlachev's team lost to Ural at home with a score of 0:2, extending their winless streak to five matches in the First League (three draws and two defeats). In the tournament table, Ufa is located on the penultimate line in the relegation zone, one point behind the safe place.
It is obvious that the team's head coach is not coping with the task set before him. The specialist has no ideas on how to play against stronger opponents, and the "townspeople" play rather poorly against weaker teams. There are also many questions about the players, but the fans mostly hear the name of the coach. The other day, information slipped through that the coach and the sports director were called to the republican Ministry of Sports for a debriefing.
Interesting trends for betting
- The club have conceded exactly two goals in five of their last seven matches in the First League.
- Ufa have not scored more than one goal in 10 of their previous 11 away games.
- The team has lost 9 of its last 11 away matches in this tournament.
Estimated lineup : Baklov; Karpov, Tenyaev, Kutin, Perchenok; Gurenko, Anisimov, Adaev; Pasevich, Lozhkin, Ageyan

3.15Tip and bets
The home team has demonstrated convincing results since the beginning of the championship and does not know the bitterness of defeat. The Saratov team has the advantage of a home field, as well as two victories at their home stadium in the championship. We can assume that these factors can become an incentive for a successful performance in the confrontation.
Prediction: Sokol win with odds of 2.55
Betting on Team Goals
Although Sokol is performing better than its opponents, in three of the five games it has played it has not exchanged goals with its opponents, which we expect to happen today.
Prediction - both teams will not score with odds of 1.62
Bet on total
For the first time in the current championship, the Saratov club is the favorite. But Sokol may have a hard time confirming this status. Alexey Baga's charges look good in defense, but the team has problems with the attack - only four goals scored. In addition, the team has not scored more than once in home games this season. We believe that the goal extravaganza will not take place in the game.
Betting Tip - total under 1.5 goals with odds of 2.40
