Bet on the total
Cup matches don't often turn out to be productive. Both rivals are mid-level players of the First League and will certainly take the face-to-face confrontation seriously. Most likely, this match will turn out to be stubborn, but you shouldn't expect a lot of goals scored. For sure, the clubs will try to play defense carefully, so we suggest betting less on total.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 3.5 goals in 1.65
Betting on corners
We believe that the teams in this match will rely on defense, so we are unlikely to see a lot of corners here. It is worth betting on a total of less in this indicator.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 9.5 corners in 1.70
