2.25Tip and bets
In our opinion, the hosts are the favorites in this confrontation. The Almetyevsk team has been playing stronger than its opponent in recent games and intends to win a second head-to-head victory in a row. Neftyanik will not let its opponent dictate the game, will use its ice and will emerge victorious in the confrontation.
Forecast - Neftyanik victory with odds of 1.85
Bet on total
The opponents prefer an attacking style of play and will act on opposite courses. The last four confrontations of "Sokol" were distinguished by high efficiency, and we believe that today there will be a goal extravaganza.
Forecast - total over 5.5 goals with odds of 2.08
Bet on individual total
Neftyanik has had no problems with scoring goals in recent games. In the last five games, the team from Almetyevsk has scored 14 goals against opponents, and we expect the hosts to score at least three goals
