The teams rarely play productive matches. In the last four games involving the hosts, no more than two goals were scored, and similar statistics are in face-to-face matches between the teams. The opponents occupy neighboring lines in the tournament table and will probably take the match seriously, so there is no need to expect any defensive failures. We suggest betting on the total under.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.50

Zira plans to return to the leading positions in the championship, so they will certainly be seriously prepared for the postponed match of the third round.
