FC Rotor Volgograd
Russian FederationCurrent Form
The recent match in the First League is not one the Volgograd team can be proud of. Their 1-2 loss to Chernomorets in front of 19,000 fans left both the club management and players dissatisfied. In their previous game, Denis Boyarintsev's men ended in a goalless draw against Sochi. After ten rounds, the team has accumulated 14 points, placing them 10th in the standings. They trail the top four by just three points.

2.10Tip and bets
Volgograd will play cautiously, mirroring the approach of the home team. Rotor performs decently but tends to adopt a defensive strategy in away matches. The visitors struggle with positional attacks and the hosts are unlikely to offer much room to maneuver. A low total has been recorded in the last three matches of Volga, which we expect to continue today.
Prediction - total under 2.5 goals at odds of 1.62
Match Outcome Bet
It is clear that Rotor is a more prestigious team, featuring several seasoned players. However, Ulyanovsk has yet to lose in the Cup and could strategize effectively, leaving the Volgograd team to play defensively and rely on counterattacks. We anticipate that the First League representative will advance to the next stage of the competition.
Prediction — Rotor to advance with odds of 1.90
Team Goals Bet
Volga has gone two consecutive Cup matches without scoring, so we can assume that in today's clash, neither team will find the back of the net.
Prediction — neither team to score with odds of 1.73
