12.50Tip and bets
Shanghai Port played an uncharacteristic match against Bucharest Rapid yesterday, where only one goal was scored. The Chinese club is famous for its productive attacking football and it is unlikely that there will be a goal drought in the second game in a row. Lokomotiv is always ready to support attacking football, especially since the match is friendly. We expect at least four goals in Abu Dhabi today.
Our prediction is total over 3.5 goals with odds of 2.03
Bet on the outcome
Of course, the representative of the Russian Premier League has some advantage in class, but the match is friendly, and no one will play at maximum to achieve victory at any cost today. We think that a draw will be the logical outcome.
The second bet is a draw with odds of 4.20
Bet on the first half
Lokomotiv has not played its best in the first half in recent matches. Thus, in the five previous matches, the railwaymen won only once in the starting 45 minutes. Based on such statistics, we recommend another option for betting.
Prediction - Shanghai Port will not lose in the first half with a coefficient of 1.74
