LiontipsUral vs Rostov. Prediction and Betting Tips for Russian Premier League (May 10, 2021).
Command Analysis
Ural are having a very weak season. Yuri Matveyev's team is approaching the penultimate round on the 12th line in the table. However, the Bumblebees don't have to worry about relegation: they have a nice 8 points gap separating them from the 13th Arsenal in the zone of transitional matches. The lack of tournament motivation is reflected in the team's results: the 0:1 defeat to Khimki in the last round extended the Ural's winless streak to four games.
Rostov played a solid first half of the season, but after the winter break, Valery Karpin's team couldn't find their game. The competition for European football was too challenging, and Rostov was simply not strong enough. They are currently only on the ninth line in the table. The club is separated from the fourth Rubin by nine points, the gap that can't be closed in the remaining games.
In the last round, Rostov beat Tambov 2:0, thus securing their second victory in a row.

Tip and bets
Ural guaranteed themself a place in the Premier League for the next season, and so now they have relaxed. The Bumblebees will try to interrupt their winless series of four games, more so considering it's their last home game this season. Rostov also are left without motivation, and they perform poorly in away games, so it makes sense to bet on the hosts.
We think the hosts have a better chance of getting points. Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) to Ural.
Ural are not a high-scoring team. The Bumblebees haven't scored more than once in their last three games. It is unlikely that today the trend will change because the hosts will most probably pay special attention to the defense. Rostov does not play open football either, so it is hardly worth expecting a high score in this fixture.
Our second bet will be on total under 2.5 goals.
