LiontipsKhimki vs Rostov. Prediction and Betting Tips for Russian Premier League (August 8, 2021).
Command Analysis
Khimki had a really good start to the new season. Igor Cherevchenko's team had to play against Zenit in the first round. Khimki played a decent game, even though they didn't get any points. The 1:3 defeat from the defending champion did not darken the team's mood too much: already in the next game, Khimki unexpectedly beat Krasnodar away with a score of 1-0 thus earning their first points in the season.
Rostov failed the second half of the previous season, but the setbacks did not end there. At the start of the new season, Valery Karpin's charges lost 0:2 to Dynamo at home. In the second round, Rostov suffered another defeat at home - this time Zenit scored four goals against them, and Rostov answered only with two (2: 4).
Valery Karpin accepted the position of the manager in the Russian national team, and though he at first intended to keep managing Rostov, too, he resigned after the second round. The new manager of Rostov is Yuri Semin.

Tip and bets
Rostov lost both games at the start of the season, but today they face a much easier opponent. Despite Khimki showing good football in the first rounds, they can hardly be called the favourites to win - Rostov have a stronger lineup, the new manager brings new hope and motivation, and so we think that Rostov should win this game.
We believe that the guests have a better chance of winning. Prediction - Asian handicap (0) to Rostov.
Rostov played well in the attack against Zenit. They will probably stick to the aggressive style today in an attempt to get points. Khimki regularly concede, and the guests shouldn't have any problems with using their scoring chances, but the Red-blacks will find a chance to score, too.
Second wager - both to score.
