Given the current form of the teams, Arsenal has a higher chance of winning. The Tula club demonstrates a stable game and has not lost since the beginning of the new season. Despite the ambitions of the Kaliningrad club, we believe that the "gunners" will be able to get at least a draw, showing an excellent game in defense.

Betting on Team Goals
The visitors have conceded only four goals this season, while the opponents score only one goal per game.

It is obvious that Baltika will play first number – the hosts need to earn three points and catch up with the leader. However, the Gunners have finished the last four out of five matches with a total under, and we believe that today there will be no goal extravaganza.
