1.70Tip and bets
It is clear that Chaika is a more experienced team, which has a number of strong players. However, the visitors have not lost in the cup yet and can build the game in such a way that Peschanokoptsi will have no choice but to act on the counterattack, but this is unlikely to happen. We assume that the First League representative will still make it to the next round of the competition.
Forecast - Asian handicap (-1.5) for "Chaika" with odds of 2.13
Bet on total
Peschanokoptsy will act cautiously, as will the guests from Orekhovo-Zuyevo. Chaika plays quite well and will prefer to play defensively at home. Znamya Truda has scored very little in recent games. The under-scoring total was recorded in three of the five matches of the home team, which we expect today as well.
Forecast - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.82
Betting on Team Goals
In the last cup match, Chaika did not exchange goals with its opponent, and we can assume that in today match, both teams will not score.
Prediction - both teams will not score with odds of 1.58
