This bet has played in three of the hosts' last five matches
1.65Bet 3rd period: Tolpar victory
The visitors have won the third period in three of their last five matches.
1.55Tip and bets
The visitors are unlikely to miss out on a win in this confrontation. The last five face-to-face matches were won by the Ufa team, and the hosts looked very bad in the pre-season matches, often losing by a large margin. Most likely, Tolpar will win by a landslide.
Our betting tip is a handicap (-2.5) on Tolpar for 1.80
Bet on total
The hosts are not known for their reliability in defense, which was clearly demonstrated in the pre-season matches. In the last match against Ladya, the club from Almetyevsk missed six goals. With such a defense, a high-scoring match is inevitable
Betting Tip - total over 6.5 goals with odds of 2.12
Bet on individual total
"Tolpar" shows a pretty good game in attack and will certainly be able to take advantage of the opponent's weakness. We believe that Ufa will score at least four goals today.
Betting Tip - individual total of "Tolpar" more than four goals for 1.65
