1.55Tip and bets
The home team has not demonstrated very convincing results in the past rounds, but looks stronger than the opponent from Yaroslavl, whose game is not going well at all. Sokol has a slight advantage of its home field and the support of fans. We can assume that these factors will become an additional incentive and the "feathered ones" will outplay their opponent.
Prediction: Sokol win with odds of 2.35
Betting on Team Goals
Sokol is performing better than its opponent and in the last game it was able to score two goals in one match for the first time since the start of the season, and today it will also try to keep the goal intact. In five games in a row Shinnik has not exchanged goals, which we expect today as well.
Prediction - both teams will not score with odds of 1.60
Bet on total
In the last face-to-face game in Saratov, the opponents scored five goals between them. However, since the beginning of the season, more than two goals have been scored in each of the opponents' games only once, and we believe that today the footballers will not present the fans with an abundance of goals scored.
Betting Tip - total under two goals with odds of 1.78
