Orenburg changed the coach and played a good match against Krylia Sovetov in the championship, in which they won back two goals from the Samara team and could have won in the end. Despite the fact that the upcoming match has no tournament significance for the hosts, they will probably play only for a win, which is now very necessary in psychological terms after a long unsuccessful series. It is unlikely that Khimki, who also do not need anything in the group, will fiercely resist.

Bet on total
Orenburg is traditionally very aggressive in attack at home, and despite the protracted crisis, regularly scores at home. It is obvious that Khimki, who have no tournament motivation, have minimal chances to remain dry, and there are plenty of problems in defense. At the same time, Orenburg also concedes in every match, and the red-blacks will certainly play for a goal of prestige.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.61
Bet on corners
Orenburg are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
