Command Analysis

FC Alania Vladikavkaz

Current form
The team is not doing well. The team from Vladikavkaz is currently in 13th place in the standings, with two wins and the same number of draws after eight matches. The last match against Ural was unsuccessful for the "Bars". Alania lost to the team from Yekaterinburg (1:3) and continued its winless streak to four games, where there was only one draw. The club has little success in attack (one goal in four rounds), and we will see what to expect in the game against a representative of the elite of last season.

Alania has no problems with its roster.

PFC Sochi

In the last round, Sochi dealt with Tyumen at home. Three goals found their way into the goal of the former goalkeeper of Krasnodar and Zenit Kritsuk. The decisive contribution to the defeat of the opponent was made by Pisarsky, who was loaned to the southerners from Krylia Sovetov, scoring twice. The main striking force in Robert Moreno's team is Slovenian Kramaric, who has gained amazing form and scored three goals and made the same number of assists in the last two rounds. The team is in fourth place in the tournament table and has 13 points, five points behind the first Arsenal.

2.00Tip and bets
Sochi is more experienced than its opponent, and the team has a number of experienced players. Alania still looks uncertain, and the visitors have gained momentum. At the same time, Sochi pays great attention to attacking actions, which should play into the hands of Robert Moreno's charges. We believe that the visiting team will emerge victorious, as in the two previous rounds.
Betting Tip: Sochi win with odds of 2.03
Bet on total
Sochi will act rather cautiously, as will Alania. The hosts will play defensively against their opponents, and there are problems with the implementation of goal-scoring opportunities. However, Sochi will devote a lot of time to attacking actions and intend to score a lot. We believe that a goal-scoring extravaganza will take place, as in two games in a row of the visiting team.
Betting Tip - total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.97
Betting on Team Goals
Sochi exchanged goals with their opponents in two of the four matches that have been played, and Alania did the same in the last game. We can assume that both teams will score in today's match.
Prediction: both teams to score with odds of 1.85
