1.72Tip and bets
This match is unlikely to produce a high goal count. In the last eight matches across all competitions, Neftkhimik has only surpassed the total of 2.5 goals once, and Shinnik is not looking to play open football. We anticipate both teams will take their time assessing each other and will play cautiously, leading us to believe that the game will end with a low score.
Prediction - total under 2.5 goals at odds of 1.60
Bet on the Outcome
We believe the home team will deliver an outstanding performance and aim for another home victory. Furthermore, Neftekhimik is competing at a higher level than their opponent in the First League, and they will strive to secure all three points. The Nizhnekamsk squad will leverage their more balanced lineup, leaving little chance for their rival today.
Prediction: Neftekhimik to win with odds of 1.90
Bet on Team Goals
In four out of their last five matches, Neftekhimik has not exchanged goals with their opponents, and both teams failed to score in their recent match against Shinnik. It is reasonable to believe that in today's clash, neither team will find the back of the net.
Prediction: Neither team to score with odds of 1.68
