1.59Tip and bets
Lokomotiv lost to Khimki in the last round and will certainly try to rehabilitate themselves for this failure, proving that it was just an accident. In attack, the Railwaymen are extremely effective and have minimal chances to reliably win against Rostov, there are plenty of problems in defense. At the same time, Rostov is unlikely to give up the victory at home without a fight, they are quite capable of playing for their goal.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - total over three goals . This bet is offered with odds of 2.07
Bet on the outcome
Rostov is far from being in the best shape, having played a series of five matches without a win and has no tournament motivation – the rotation will probably be quite large-scale, and the coach will give preference to the upcoming championship match against Akhmat. Lokomotiv will also not do without changes in the lineup before the match against Zenit, but the visitors have a better and wider reserve, the Railwaymen won the last three matches against Rostov, the series will probably continue.
Bet - Asian handicap (0) on Lokomotiv. This bet is offered for 1.69
Bet on corners
Rostov will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Lokomotiv is quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.79
