1.65Tip and bets
The guests in the championship are not performing very confidently yet, but they plan to return to the leading positions. We believe that Backa Topola will be able to win against one of the outsiders of the Super League even on the road. However, at the moment the hosts are much weaker than their opponents. We suggest betting on the victory of the favorite.
Our prediction is a victory for Backa Topola at 1.97
Bet on total
The hosts will have little chance of a positive result in the attacking game, so the Belgrade club will probably throw all their efforts into defending their goal. In such a game scenario, one should not count on a large number of goals. Most likely, the fate of the match will be decided by one or two goals scored.
Our prediction is under 2.5 goals for 2.02
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 3.55
