In this confrontation, bookmakers put the Tula team as the favorite. However, the Kazan team has not lost on its home ice in two games in a row and intends to beat AKM. "Bars" looks decent this season, will use its court and will not leave a chance to the opponent.
Prediction - Barca win the match with odds of 2.17
Bet on total
The home team prefers an attacking style of play, but in the last five matches, Bars has scored only 12 goals against its opponents, and the three previous head-to-head meetings between the opponents were not productive. We believe that the goal extravaganza will not take place.
Forecast - total under 4.5 goals with odds of 2.20
Bet on individual total
AKM has no problem with goals scored. However, in four of the last five matches, Bars has conceded no more than two goals, and we expect the visitors to score less than three goals.
Forecast - individual total of AKM less than 2.5 goals for 1.95
