2.19Tip and bets
After two unsuccessful matches in a row, Lokomotiv gets a chance to rehabilitate itself and break its losing streak – its opponents are one of the main outsiders of the championship. It is obvious that the “railwaymen” are quite capable of taking their own – the hosts have a huge advantage in class, two unsuccessful matches in a row hardly indicate a crisis, and Khimki are frankly not impressive at the moment.
We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1) for Lokomotiv . This bet is offered with odds of 1.69
Bet on total
Lokomotiv will clearly be in a determined mood today – the defeat to Spartak allowed their competitors to get ahead, but at the same time their neighbors below have also pulled themselves together, there is no room for error. Khimki are extremely vulnerable in defense and it will be almost impossible to beat such an opponent to zero, but at the same time, even in their not very strong matches, the red-blacks score regularly, and they are capable of responding with one goal.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.65
Bet on corners
Lokomotiv are the favourites and will probably dominate for the entire 90 minutes – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-3) on corners for Lokomotiv. This bet is offered for 1.95
