2.90Tip and bets
The hosts are quite successful in face-to-face confrontations with Chaika, but I still don’t believe in the Siberians’ success today. The team had a very weak pre-season training, losing to everyone they could. The visitors won almost all their matches during this time. We’ll risk betting on the Nizhny Novgorod team’s success.
Our betting tip is a handicap (-1) on “Chaika” for 1.80
Bet on total
Face-to-face matches between the rivals usually turn out to be productive. Only in one of the five matches the total of five goals was not broken. We think that the teams will try to start the season brightly, and we will see many goals scored.
Betting Tip - total over 5.5 goals with odds of 1.65
Bet on individual total
"Chaika" is clearly capable of showing class in attack. The hosts' defense has not been impressive lately, so the visiting players will probably be able to score at least four times.
Betting Tip - Chaika's individual total is over 3.5 goals for 1.85
