Sokol Saratov
Russian FederationCurrent form
In the last round, Sokol suffered another defeat, which was the ninth since the start of the championship. In the match with Moscow Torpedo, the teams exchanged goals at the beginning of the first half, but the Saratov team could not resist one of the leaders and conceded at the end, losing 1:2 in the end. The team has not been helped by the change of coach - the "feathered ones" lost the third match in a row, and the debut for head coach Alexey Stukalov. The team scored only 11 goals since the start of the First League and won four victories in the season with seven draws. At the moment, Sokol is in 16th place in the standings and has 19 points to its credit, lagging behind the saving line, where Ufa is located, by one point. The main task set by the club management is to maintain registration in the best league in the world, and all the prerequisites for this are in place.

SKA-Khabarovsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
SKA-Khabarovsk gained momentum and had a brilliant end to the first part of the season. Alexey Poddubsky took over the team that was in the last line, but under him the team played well and suffered only one defeat in the last 12 matches. With such motivation and attitude to each match, the club deserves to fight for the highest places in the First League. In the last match, the "army men" rolled out a goalless draw with "Chaika", and this was, perhaps, the most boring match of the round. The result, of course, is positive, since only "Baltika" won in Peschanokopskoye. The team ended the confrontation with Moscow "Torpedo" with a fighting draw (2:2) in the game before. At this stage, the ninth line in the tournament table and 26 points in the asset. The team has transformed and was able to break away from their pursuers from the relegation zone by seven points.

Noskov won't help the team due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- The Army Men have beaten Sokol in Saratov only once in their history

1.75Tip and bets
In our opinion, it is more logical to pay attention to the guests in this confrontation. Sokol cannot win three games in a row, and SKA-Khabarovsk needs to earn three points after two world games in a row. We can assume that the visiting team will use its experience and stronger roster, leaving its counterpart out of work.
Prediction - SKA-Khabarovsk win with odds of 2.15
Bet on total
Most likely, the game will be dictated by the Khabarovsk club with a large number of scoring opportunities. However, the opponents' defense is not bad. Note that no more than two goals were scored in three of the past five games of the "army men", as well as in four of "Sokol". We believe that there will be no goal-scoring extravaganza in this battle.
Forecast - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.65
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 opponents out of five, there was no exchange of goals, which we expect today.
Prediction: Both teams will not score with odds of 1.78
