1.60Tip and bets
The opponents have recently experienced long series without defeats, but in the last round they won synchronously. In a face-to-face match, it is difficult to give preference to one of the opponents, given that they have the same number of points, and in personal meetings they usually play a draw. We think that such an outcome is not excluded now. We suggest taking a risk and betting on a draw.
Our prediction is a draw at 2.95
Bet on total
The teams prefer a defensive style of play, especially the visitors, who have the fewest goals scored so far among the participants of Serie B. Most likely, in a face-to-face duel, the contenders for survival will act carefully, so do not expect a large number of goals scored in this confrontation.
Our prediction is total under two goals at 1.80
Bet on corners
At home, Südtirol will most likely play first fiddle and spend a lot of time attacking – the hosts should win confidently in the corners.
Our prediction is a win for Südtirol on corners. This bet is offered at 1.65
