3.54Tip and bets
In this confrontation, bookmakers put the guests as the favorites, and in general, Rubin looks stronger. However, Rostov has gained good momentum and has begun to play much more confidently and can cause a lot of problems for the opponent at home. In the last face-to-face game, the Tyumen team won and intends to win their fifth face-to-face victory in a row. We believe that experience and a developed game plan will allow Denis Yachmenev and his charges to finish the match in their favor.
Forecast - Rubin win with odds of 1.92
Bet on total
The team from Tyumen intends to devote a lot of time to defensive actions and play strictly in defense. In the last face-to-face match, the opponents scored six goals between them, but four of the five face-to-face meetings were not productive. We believe that the goal extravaganza in Rostov-on-Don will most likely not take place.
Forecast - total under 5.5 goals with odds of 1.72
Bet on individual total
Rubin has no problems with goals scored, and the team has first-class forwards who are capable of making a difference. In the last five matches, the visitors have scored at least two goals, and we expect them to score at least three goals today.
Forecast - Rubin individual total over 2.5 goals for 1.58
