Tip and bets

2.05handicap (0) on "Gwangyu"

The hosts will certainly try to play a high-level home match to gain an advantage before a tough away game. Ulsan is a pretty easy opponent for Gwangyu, which has won its last four head-to-head matches. We think that luck will be on the side of the home team this time too, especially since the visitors have not been very successful lately.

Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Gwangyu for 2.05

Do you agree with this bet?

1.95total under 2.5 goals

Bet on total

Both teams have been betting on defense lately, so their matches rarely end up being productive. The same can be said about head-to-head meetings, the results of which are often decided by one goal. Most likely, we won't see many goals now either.

Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.95
