1.82Tip and bets
In our opinion, it is more logical to pay attention to the guests in this confrontation. Sokol cannot win in five games in a row in the First League, and Arsenal needs to earn three points after six draws in a row. We can assume that the visiting team will use their experience and a more powerful lineup, leaving their counterpart out of work.
Prediction: Arsenal win with odds of 1.90
Bet on total
Most likely, the game will be dictated by Arsenal with a large number of scoring opportunities. However, the opponents' defense is not bad. Note that no more than two goals were scored in three of the past five games of Saratov, as well as in four of Arsenal, and we believe that in this battle, too, there will be no goal-scoring extravaganza.
Forecast - total under two goals with odds of 1.75
Betting on Team Goals
In this game, the opponents will be cautious and it is unlikely that they should expect goals from either club. In the last four matches of the Saratov team out of five, there was no exchange of goals, which we expect today.
Prediction: Both teams will not score with odds of 1.52
