2.75Tip and bets
Lokomotiv is in outstanding form, winning match after match and displaying an exciting attacking style with plenty of goals. Today, the Railwaymen will likely implement a significant rotation, but they are unlikely to stray from their attacking approach, especially given the opponent's level and their leadership in the group, which allows for some risk-taking.
Orenburg has the chance to fight for third place and will surely take risks as well. In their last two matches, Deogracia's team scored four goals against Lokomotiv, and they are expected to find the net at least once today.
We anticipate goals in this match. Our prediction is both teams to score. This bet is offered at odds of 1.71.
Outcome Bet
Lokomotiv has already secured a place in the playoffs through the RPL, but they are unlikely to take it easy. Their reserves have something to prove, and the team clearly intends to maintain its winning momentum. For Orenburg, the priority is correcting their situation in the league, but their squad may lack the necessary strength and motivation. This leads to a reasonable expectation for a confident victory by the favorite.
Bet - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Lokomotiv. This wager is offered at 1.95
