In the previous game, Denis Boyarintsev’s squad drew 0-0 against Sochi. After 11 rounds, the team has accumulated 14 points, placing them in 11th position on the standings, four points ahead of their current opponent.

FC Alania Vladikavkaz

Current Form
Alania is not performing well at the moment. The team from Vladikavkaz is currently in 16th place in the standings, sitting in the relegation zone with only two wins and four draws after 11 matches. Their last game against Neftekhimik ended in a disappointing goalless draw, extending their winless streak to seven games in the First League, where they managed just three draws. The club has struggled offensively, scoring only two goals in seven rounds, making it unclear what to expect in their upcoming match against the resilient Rotor.

1.85Tip and bets
The Volgograd team has shown much better results than their opponent in recent matches, making them a more intriguing side than Alania. Rotor plays in a more organized manner and has secured two victories in their last three head-to-head encounters. It’s reasonable to believe that this will play a crucial role in today’s match, leading Denis Boyarintsev's squad to success.
Prediction – Rotor wins with odds of 2.10
Total Bet
The competing teams are expected to proceed with caution. Rotor has been performing decently but struggles in the finishing phase, while the visitors have completely lost their scoring touch. Rotor will not allow Alania much room to maneuver, so we suggest considering the low total, which has been observed in their last three encounters.
Prediction - total under 1.5 goals with odds of 2.50
Team Goals Bet
Rotor hasn't exchanged goals with opponents in seven matches this season, and Alania has also failed to score in their recent away game. It’s reasonable to anticipate that in today’s match, neither team will find the back of the net.
Prediction - neither team to score with odds of 1.60
