2.20Tip and bets
Rostov has been showing a better game than its opponents lately and intends to take advantage of Sokol slump. The Rostov-on-Don club intends to use the game plan it has developed today to achieve a positive result. We believe that the Condors look stronger than the Feathered Ones at this stage, will use their experience and win.
Prediction: Rostov wins the match with odds of 3.25
Bet on total
If we take the last eight games of Sokol, then the total under 5.5 goals was recorded in six games. However, in the last five face-to-face games the opponents did not score less than six goals, and we can assume that a goal extravaganza will take place.
Forecast - total over 5.5 goals with odds of 1.97
Bet on individual total
Rostov will prefer to play on the attack and intend to outscore their opponents. Over the last five games, the visitors have scored 13 goals against their opponents, and we hope that they will be able to hit the opponent goal more than twice today.
Forecast - Rostov individual total over 2.5 goals for 2.85
