2.95Tip and bets
In this matchup, sportsbooks view the visitors as the favorites. However, "Chelmet" has remained undefeated in their last two head-to-head encounters. The hosts have analyzed their mistakes following a loss to CSK VVS, suggesting that their home ice advantage may lead them to victory over the Penza team.
Prediction: "Chelmet" to win the match with odds of 2.05
Total Bet
In this matchup, a defensive game focused on counterattacks is anticipated. Previous encounters between these clubs have been low-scoring, with fewer than 5.5 goals scored in the last four direct meetings. We believe that today will see a similar lack of goal-scoring excitement.
Prediction – total fewer than 5.5 goals with odds of 1.73
Individual Total Bet
Chelmet's attack has been solid, having netted seven goals against Diesel in their last two head-to-head matches. We can reasonably expect the home team to score more than two goals.
Prediction - Chelmet’s individual total over 2.5 goals at 1.93
