3.60Tip and bets
In this confrontation, bookmakers put the hosts as the favorites. However, Ryazan is a tough opponent and can easily score a couple of goals and dry up the game. The guests have looked stronger than their opponents in recent games, and we believe that they will use their experience and get their first victory in the VHL.
Betting Tip - Ryazan wins the match with odds of 2.50
Bet on total
This pair is likely to play in the middle zone on counterattacks. The opponents scored little in the preseason, and the visitors finished the last three matches in a row with a total under. We believe that the goal extravaganza will not take place in the match.
Betting Tip - total under 4.5 goals with odds of 2.10
Bet on individual total
Torpedo-Gorky hasn't been playing well in the attack line lately, and in the last three out of five matches the club hasn't scored more than two goals. We can assume that the hosts will score less than three goals.
