Tip and bets

2.15Akron's victory

Akron has looked more than decent lately, especially in home games – five points allow them to count on a playoff spot via the RPL, they certainly want to put up a fight. Fakel is in a difficult situation in the championship and the Blue-Whites have frankly little motivation in the Cup, they have at least a chance of finishing third, it makes sense to give preference to the hosts in such a situation.

We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Akron's victory . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.15

1.95both will score

Bet on total

Akron has an excellent opportunity to continue the fight for the second line and the hosts have nothing to lose in this situation - they will most likely take risks and play openly today. Fakel has minimal motivation in the Cup, but those players who will have a chance today will most likely try to take advantage of it, there is no point in the guests defending the entire match, and goals will most likely be exchanged.

Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.95
