LiontipsKhimki vs Ural. Prediction and Betting Tips for Russian Premier League (May 2, 2021).
Command Analysis
Khimki are demonstrating a very high level of football this season. Igor Cherevchenko's team is currently ranked eighth in the standings. The Red-blacks have secured their spot in the Premier League quite a while ago, but getting into the European club competition will be a very difficult task: the team is five points behind Rubin Kazan, and their direct competitors are Dynamo, CSKA, and Sochi.
Uraldid not do anything outstanding in the current season, but Yuri Matveyev's team fulfilled their main task. At the start of the 28th round, the Bumblebees are on the 12th line in the standings, with 31 points in their asset. The zone of transitional matches is at a distance of eight points, and Ural won't lose this handicap, so they can just play our the season without stress.

Tip and bets
Khimki aren't seriously hoping to get into the European competition, but even without such tournament objectives, the hosts will not allow themselves to be careless. At home, the Red-blacks are playing very powerfully, the series of seven victories in a row proves that. We are afraid, Ural hardly have any chances for points this time, since the Bumblebees are far from their optimal form.
We believe the hosts are more likely to win, so we bet on Khimki to win with an Asian handicap (0).
Khimki have no problems with performance at home and Ural probably won't avoid defeat. However, at the same time, the Bumblebees are a scoring team and their attack can create some problems for Khimki.
Our second bet will be both to score.
