Bet on the total

In recent friendly matches, both teams have shown productive play, but they have made a lot of mistakes defensively. Face-to-face fights also turn out to be very fun, for sure, even now the rivals will act in an adventurous style.

Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.60

The first half bet

We do not expect that the opponents will move forward with great strength immediately after the kickoff. Obviously, it will take time to take a closer look at each other. In this scenario, a draw is likely based on the results of the first half.
