Tip and bets
The hosts look like the clear favorites of this meeting. The Polish team has good prospects in the Polish championship and has been showing good football throughout the season, although not without slumps. The team has played the last five matches without a win and now is an excellent opportunity to break this streak. The visitors are doing much worse - five defeats in a row and almost no chance to climb above the middle of the table in their league. Let bet on the success of the hosts.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Cracovia for 1.64
Bet on total
In a friendly match, the opponents have no reason to sit back in defense. The players will certainly try to show themselves in attack, and there will definitely be many substitutions, which eliminates the fatigue factor. The teams have had productive last sparring matches, so we should expect them to be sharp in the face-to-face match. Let bet on the total over.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.78
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 2.50
