Tip and bets

1.71handicap (-1) on "Victoria"

Victoria have found excellent form at the start of the season and will clearly be looking to extend their winning streak today. The hosts definitely have a chance of success – Hearts look frankly weak in the first matches of the new season, the “maroons” will need quite a bit of time to get into shape, it makes sense to give preference to the favorite.

We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) for "Victoria" . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.71

Bet on total

"Victoria" will undoubtedly play aggressively in attack at home in an attempt to secure a confident victory - the "red-blues" score regularly at home, the defense of "Hearts" should not be a problem for them. At the same time, the "dark-burgundy" are an experienced fighter in the international arena, they are quite capable of responding with a goal of prestige.

Bet - both teams to score. This outcome is offered with odds of 1.81
