1.48Tip and bets
Dynamo has lost motivation for the rest of the season and is just playing out the remaining matches. The blue and white team gave the reserve goalkeepers the opportunity to play in the match against Lokomotiv and experimented a lot. Severstal needs victory like air, so the owners will fight for it from the first seconds of the confrontation. The black and yellow ones have gained a good shape and should cling to the points. We think that they will be able to earn at least one credit score. We offer a double chance bet on the first one.
Betting Tip - Severstal will not lose in 1.62
Betting on an individual total
Dynamo gave their main goalkeepers a chance to rest and are unlikely to strain them in the away game against Severstal. The Steelworkers have played well offensively in recent matches and they really need to score against the Muscovites. We think that the team from Cherepovets will be able to distinguish themselves at least three times during the match at the home arena.
We are betting on Severstal's individual total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.92
Bet on the total total
The teams often play each other extremely effectively and now we can expect a bright duel. Severstal needs to move forward and solve its problems, while Dynamo will play without its own goal, attacking. We believe that neither side will sit on the defensive and the meeting will be spectacular. We suggest you place a bet on the total number of goals.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 2.02
