You shouldn't expect many goals from this match. The opponents have no problems with scoring, but the clubs will prefer to play defensively. The hosts will take the game into their own hands, will act as the first number, will get a comfortable advantage and bring the game to a logical conclusion. Therefore, the choice in favor of a low total suggests itself here.

The hosts did not exchange goals with their opponents in four of the past five games in all tournaments, and Khimki did not exchange goals in one. Also, in the last four personal meetings out of five, one team scored. We can assume that in today confrontation the opponents will not score against each other, but will show brilliant football with many scoring chances.
Prediction - both teams will not score with odds of 2.00
