1.72Tip and bets
It is unlikely that any of the teams will run headlong forward, but all the same, the teams play well in attack and score on a regular basis. The hosts have not scored a single goal in the Champions League. It is not right for such a strong club to play at such a rather low level. "Kobe", upset by the last defeat, when they failed to distinguish themselves, will play better and in the second match in a row there will be no zeros on the scoreboard.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.68
Bet on the outcome
In the only head-to-head encounter, which took place in the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2020, two clubs managed to score, and the regular time ended in a draw. The hosts are favorites only because of the home field factor. In terms of game ambitions, they are not superior to their counterpart. We believe that it will not be possible to determine a winner in this match either.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.25
Bet on corners
Both teams constantly try to avoid corner kicks, as they often create dangerous moments. It is unlikely that the upcoming match will be an exception. Let bet that there will be few corner kicks.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners with odds of 1.50
