1.64Tip and bets
The Wings of the Soviets have already lost their chances to contend for a group exit after four rounds. Overall, competing in the Russian Cup seems to be an unwelcome burden for the hosts, leading to the Volga club suffering heavy defeats in most of their matches. Meanwhile, the Makhachkala team still has a chance to fight for one of the top two spots in the group, which means the visitors will surely be highly motivated for this match.
Our prediction is a handicap (0) on Dynamo at 2.35.
Total Goals Bet
The visitors will have to rely heavily on their defense, as their player quality does not meet Premier League standards. The home side, as previously mentioned, lacks significant tournament motivation, making it unlikely we’ll see many goals scored in this match.
Bet Recommendation – under 2.5 total goals with odds of 1.72.
First Half Bet
Dynamo doesn't frequently initiate matches with aggressive offensive play. It’s likely both teams will approach the first half cautiously, so it’s probable they will head into the break with a tied score.
Bet Recommendation – draw in the first half with odds of 2.03.
