Command Analysis

PFC Sochi

Current form
Robert Moreno's charges finished the last round with a 1:1 draw against Alania. The team had the advantage throughout the game, made 23 shots on goal, but failed to score the winning goal. Sochi has the most expensive roster among all the teams in the First League and so far this has not affected the number of points scored. Sochi's attack is not so bad - 14 goals have been scored, but there are quite a few problems in defense. Over nine rounds, the "Barsy" have conceded 11 goals. The team is in fifth place in the standings with 14 points and is two points behind Baltika, who closes the TOP-4.

FC Rotor Volgograd

Current form
The Volgograd team can put the last match in their score. The 1:1 draw with Ural in Yekaterinburg was worth a lot. In the first half, the teams were unable to realize their chances, and the outcome of the match was decided in the second. In the 63rd minute of the match, Rotor opened the scoring, but was unable to maintain the advantage, and in stoppage time, the hosts saved the game. The game before, Denis Boyarintsev's team ended the match with a goalless draw with Chaika. As a result, after nine rounds, the team was able to score a devil's dozen points and take eighth place in the tournament table. The gap from the TOP-4 is only three points.

Pavel Kotov is in the hospital.

1.70Tip and bets
Volgograd will act rather cautiously, as will the home team. Rotor plays well, but will act defensively against such a strong opponent. The southerners do not yet have any stability. There are problems with positional attacks and the visitors will not give much free space. The under total was recorded in four out of five matches involving the visiting team, which we expect today.
Betting Tip - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.77
Bet on the outcome
It is clear that Sochi is a more prestigious team, which has a number of experienced players. Another thing is that the southerners do not look 100% yet. Moreno can build the team's game in such a way that the Volgograd team will have no choice but to act as second number on counterattacks. At the same time, the Sochi team pays great attention to standard positions and the home field factor also plays into the "Bars" hands.
Betting Tip: Sochi win with odds of 1.55
Betting on Team Goals
Rotor did not exchange goals with their opponents in three of the five matches that have been played, and Sochi did not exchange goals in two games. We can assume that both teams will not score in today's matchup.
Prediction - both teams will not score with odds of 1.70
