Magnitka Magnitogorsk

Magnitka played its first official match in Norilsk and suffered a defeat to the club of the same name.

3.65Tip and bets
Magnitka definitely needs to win, as a defeat will make the club think about playing with more experienced opponents. We believe that the visiting coaching staff has worked on the mistakes after the defeat in Norilsk and will be able to gain the upper hand in Krasnoyarsk. Magnitogorsk is playing with self-confidence, and we believe that they will snatch victory, breaking a series of five losses in a row.
Betting Tip: Magnitka wins the match with odds of 2.45
Bet on total
This pair is likely to play primarily on the attack. Magnitogorsk will take risks and try to break the Krasnoyarsk team in this game as well. It is worth noting that in the last four matches out of five, the guests scored less than six goals, and we believe that there will not be too many of them in this confrontation either.
Betting Tip - total under 5.5 goals with odds of 1.95
Bet on individual total
Magnitka has no choice but to attack and score a lot of goals on the opponent, and the team doesn't want to lose again. The club from Magnitogorsk has no problems in the attacking line, and we hope that the visitors will be able to break through Sokol's defense and hit the opponent's goal more than twice.
Betting Tip - individual total of "Magnitka" more than 2.5 goals for 2.13
