Tip and bets
Teams failed to strengthen the squad, so they will have to fight to avoid relegation this season. In head-to-head matches teams usually played aggressively and scored many goals.
But we are expecting a different scenario in this game with an intensity in the midfield. We think that outcome of this game will be decided by one or two goals.
Our prediction - total under 2.5 goals
It is hard to give preference to one of the opponents. We think that you should consider a bet on the draw for this match, it will probably be the positive result for both sides.
Our second bet is on a draw
