1.37Tip and bets
The visitors are much stronger than today opponent and are unlikely to stumble in the postponed match. Karabakh needs to continue to increase the gap from its competitors, and the match against the seriously weakened Shamakhi is an excellent opportunity to do so. The hosts have failed their last matches and were unable to beat even the last team in the league, so it is hard to believe in the ability of the outsider to compete with the leader.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (-2.5) on Karabakh for 2.20
Bet on total
The visitors have already scored 44 goals in the championship, which is 15 more than Zira, who are second in this indicator. Few of their competitors can cope with the powerful attack of the "horses", and it is unlikely that the hosts will be able to do this, who have not distinguished themselves with reliability in defense in recent matches.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.58
Bet on the first half
The visitors will immediately go on the attack, trying to gain an advantage in the score as early as possible. We do not think that the favorite will have problems in the attacking game, so we believe that Karabakh will go into the break leading in the score.
Our prediction is a victory for Karabakh in the first half for 1.45
