2.03Tip and bets
Most likely, the game will be dictated by Rotor with a small number of scoring opportunities, since Neftekhimik has a good defense. Note that no more than two goals were scored in the four previous games of the home team, as well as in the last two away games of the guests out of three, and we believe that in this battle, too, a goal extravaganza will not take place.
Forecast - total under two goals with odds of 1.70
Bet on total
In our opinion, it is more logical to pay attention to the hosts in this confrontation. Rotor has not lost to its opponent in four games in a row in Volgograd and will try to continue this series today. We can assume that the home team will use its field and a more powerful lineup, leaving its counterpart out of work.
Forecast: Rotor win with odds of 2.40
Betting on Team Goals
In this game, the opponents will be cautious and it is unlikely that goals will be expected from either club. In the last three matches of the Volgograd team out of five, there was no exchange of goals, which we expect today.
Prediction: Both teams will not score with odds of 1.53
