The Blues won 1:0 in the end, not allowing the opponent to make a single shot at their goal. This victory was the second in a row for the first time since the start of the championship and there is a chance to continue the series, but the opponent also needs points.

Shinnik Yaroslavl

Current form
Yaroslavtsyna fought with a representative of the elite of Russian football in the Russian Cup during the week, but they failed to continue the fight in the competition. The match against Tolyatti Akron was boring. Shinnik conceded in the first minute of the match, cutting the ball into their own net, and the score remained 0:1 until the final whistle.
Things aren't going well for the Yaroslavl team in the first league either. Dmitry Cheryshev charges aren't showing very confident results and are in 14th place in the standings, ahead of their relegation zone opponents by just one point. The Bears played against Yenisei in Krasnoyarsk last round and ended the match with a goalless draw, making only one shot on target.

Zagre and Skvortsov will miss the match due to disqualification.
Interesting trends for betting

- The team concedes an average of one goal per game
Approximate lineup : Mitrov, Kosogorov, Yakushevich, Cherny, Shakuro, Aleinikov, Zinkov, Malakhov, Zhamaletdinov, Sukhomlinov, Samoilov.

We can assume that this will play a very important role in today game and Denis Boyarintsev charges will please the public with another victory before the winter break.

Forecast - total under two goals with odds of 1.67

Shinnik has not exchanged goals with its opponents in the last five matches in all tournaments, and in the last face-to-face game the opponents did not score. We can assume that in today match both teams will not score.
