Tip and bets

2.05handicap (+1.5) to Aberdeen

The hosts are far superior to their opponents in terms of squad, but the visitors showed at the beginning of the season that they are ready to successfully fight with absolutely any opponent, including Celtic. Few expected that such a modest team as Aberdeen would be on par with the Celts after ten rounds, but so far the visitors are coping and there are no signs of decline. We believe that Jimmy Thelin charges will be able to impose a fight on the famous opponent.

Our prediction is Asian handicap (+1.5) on Aberdeen for 2.05

Do you agree with this bet?

1.7total under 3.5 goals

Bet on total

The opponents will fight for the final and will obviously try to avoid mistakes in defense. We think that the players will not take too many risks in attack, because any mistake can deprive the team of a place in the final. Most likely, the opponents will not score more than three goals.

Our prediction is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.70
