Command Analysis

Rodina

Current form
This season, Rodina has suffered only one defeat, and due to five draws and two victories, the club cannot compete with the leaders of the First League. In the last round, the team could not cope with Chornomorets (2:2), and Vladimir Gazayev decided to leave the post of head coach. With such a game, it will be difficult for the Muscovites to break into the TOP-4, since the opponents are showing a much better game, and the club's management, as always, sets the goal of moving up in class. As a result, the Moscow team scored 11 points and is in 10th place in the tournament table, three points behind the play-off zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no problems with the team's composition.

1.65Tip and bets
In our opinion, it is more logical to pay attention to the hosts in this confrontation. Rodina cannot get on the winning track, but today they will try to improve the situation. We can assume that the home team will use their experience and their field, leaving their counterpart out of work.
Betting Tip: Rodina win with odds of 1.65
Bet on total
Most likely, the game will be dictated by Rodina with a large number of scoring opportunities. We can assume that the hosts will take the game into their own hands, gain a comfortable advantage and bring the game to a logical victory. In the last four games of the Saratov team, the total under was recorded, and we believe that in this battle, too, a goal extravaganza will not take place.
Betting Tip - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.60
Betting on Team Goals
In this game, Rodina will be cautious and it is unlikely that either club will score goals in the match. In the last three home matches of the Muscovites out of four, there was no exchange of goals, which we expect today.
Prediction: Both teams will not score with odds of 1.60
