FC Krasnodar is in superb form and has sacrificed a cup match this week to focus on the league – only a victory will satisfy the home side. FC Khimki has struggled in the first half of the season, significantly trailing behind the Bulls in ability, making it almost impossible for them to mount a serious challenge. A confident win for the favorites seems highly likely.
We believe the guests have no chance. Prediction – Asian handicap (-1.5) on FC Krasnodar. This bet is offered at odds of 2.05.
Bet on Total Goals
Krasnodar is the favorite and will seek to reclaim the top position in the standings today. The hosts are likely to apply significant pressure on their opponent's goal from the first half. Khimki are vulnerable in defense, and keeping a clean sheet against such an opponent will be nearly impossible. However, the red and blacks are also in desperate need of points and possess capable attacking players, making it feasible for them to score at least a consolation goal.
Suggested bet - both teams to score. This wager is offered at 2.07
Bet on Corners
Krasnodar is the favorite and is expected to dominate for the entire 90 minutes, thus they should win the corner count convincingly.
