FK Makhachkala

With its resources, Dynamo Makhachkala looks very decent in the Russian Premier League. The team has a rather modest budget, and there are not many players with experience at this level, but the team is still quite successfully fighting to retain its place. So far, they have managed to stay outside the play-off zone. Hasanbi Bidzhiev team is in 11th place in the standings and is one point ahead of Pari NN and Khimki. It is worth noting that the representative of Dagestan is the least productive team in the RPL - only 11 goals in 18 matches, only Voronezh Fakel has comparable figures.

Arda Kardzhali

Current form
Arda remains a solid mid-table team in the Bulgarian championship, and is now pushing for the top five. The team currently occupies the fifth line in the league table and is six points behind Levski, Cherno More and Botev, who share the second position. In the last round of the championship, the visitors managed to secure a confident victory over the last team in the league, Hebar (2:0), and then knocked Levski from Krumovgrad out of the cup (2:0), advancing to the quarterfinals. However, the Bulgarian club has not been successful in friendly matches yet - they have already suffered defeats from the Czech Hradec Kralove (0:3) and the Polish Katowice (0:1).

Interesting trends for betting
- The team failed to score a single goal in the last two friendly matches
- None of the last five matches of the visitors ended in a draw
Tentative lineup: Gospodinov - Gustavo Cascardo, Eboa Eboa, Wiyachki, Velkovski - Kotev, Tsonev - Ivanov, Iordanov, Tilev - Offor
Tip and bets
Arda performed rather poorly in the last friendly matches, not scoring a single goal against Hradec Kralove and Katowice, but Makhachkala Dynamo managed to score three goals against their opponents. We believe that the representative of the Russian Premier League will continue its successful streak and will be able to beat the opponent from the Bulgarian championship.
Our prediction is Dynamo Makhachkala victory for 1.85
Bet on total
Dynamo showed high efficiency in the last two matches, but in the Premier League matches the team does not act so well in attack. Arda is a rather serious opponent and knows how to defend competently, but the guests themselves have not scored in the last matches. We think that here the opponents will not please the spectators with an abundance of goals scored.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.95
Bet on corners
We believe that the opponents will rely on defense in this match, so it is unlikely that the total number of corners will be exceeded.
Our prediction is under 9.5 corners for 1.90
