Tip and bets

1.91handicap (-1) on Lokomotiv

Lokomotiv has gained excellent form and is showing very high-quality football, winning victory after victory. Today, the Railwaymen will probably add reserves to their squad, but Khimki will also undergo serious rotation before the match with CSKA, so it makes sense to give preference to the favorite who is at the peak of his form; it is unlikely that the visitors will have enough motivation and resources to put up a decent fight.

We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) for Lokomotiv . This bet is offered with odds of 1.91
