Command Analysis

Chayka

Current Form
The Peschano-Kopsky team has moved up to the premier league this year and is showcasing impressive football, unlike many other teams that regularly compete in the First League. The squad has suffered only two defeats this season. However, Chaika has secured four victories and achieved five draws, which is a commendable performance overall. With 17 points earned under the guidance of Evgeny Kaleshin, they sit in fifth place in the standings, trailing fourth-place Chernomorets on tiebreakers. In the last round, the team managed a narrow 1-0 victory against Ufa, completing the second half with just ten players.
Injuries and Suspensions
Nesterov will miss the game due to suspension.
Notable Betting Trends
Since the start of the season, the team has not lost a home game.
On average, the team scores 1.4 goals per match.
Projected Lineup: Shtepa, Ibragimov, Evdokimov, Karmaev, Nikolaev, Yanov, Zarypbekov, Malyarov, Bammatgereev, Kholachev, Rudenko.

Baltika

Current Form
Under the guidance of Andrei Talalaev, Baltika is performing just as poorly as it did under Alexander Grishin. Since his appointment as head coach, the team has secured only a narrow victory against last-placed Tyumen (2:1). They've struggled to find wins against rivals fighting for promotion to the RPL. In their latest match, they played to a goalless draw at home against Arsenal (0:0) and previously lost to Torpedo Moscow (1:2). After 11 matches in the First League, the Kaliningrad team has collected 17 points, placing them seventh in the standings. Their deficit from the playoff zone is determined only by additional tiebreakers, and their attacking play has been lacking. We'll see what the team can deliver today against a club that played in the second league last season while Baltika itself has competed in Russian top-flight football.
Injuries and Suspensions
Suspended player Pryakhin will miss the match.

2.35Tip and bets
The home team has shown impressive results since the start of the season. Seagulls have a slight edge playing on their turf where they haven’t lost since the opening round. This factor could serve as additional motivation, allowing the sand diggers to at least secure a draw.
Prediction: Seagulls will not lose at odds of 2.00.
Bet on Team Goals
Recently, "Chayka" has shown a stronger performance than their opponent, failing to exchange goals in four out of their last five matches, which we anticipate will continue today.
Prediction - neither team to score with odds of 1.77
Bet on Total Goals
The visitors find it challenging to score goals. We believe this match will feature a limited number of scoring opportunities. Both teams desperately need points, so we suggest wagering on a total of under 2.5 goals, a result seen in four out of the five previous encounters between these sides.
Prediction - total goals under 2.5 with odds of 1.65
