Bet on total
We should expect a lot of goals from this match. The hosts have a good attack, but UTA Urad has not looked very convincing since the beginning of the season, but can fray nerves. We believe that the "students" will take the game into their own hands and bring the game to a logical victory. In three of the last four games of the "students" the total was over, and we believe that a goal extravaganza will take place.
Forecast - total over 2.5 goals with odds of 2.05
