LiontipsSochi - Ufa. Prediction and bets on the First League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Robert Moreno team have suffered only one defeat in their last 16 games in all tournaments, losing away to KAMAZ (0:1). Sochi has the most expensive roster among all the teams in the First League, but so far this has not affected the number of points scored. In the last match, Sochi snatched victory only in the last minutes of the match against the outsider Tyumen (1:0), but with such a selection of players, the "Barsy" were obliged to crush the opponent. With such a game, it is unlikely that they will be able to return to the elite of Russian football. However, the team broke into the TOP-4 and is in fourth place in the tournament table with 31 points in the asset, two points behind the third Ural.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sochi have Sissako and Alves injured, and Suslov is also disqualified.
Interesting trends for betting
- Sochi have never lost to their opponents (four wins and three draws)
- The team concedes an average of one goal per game
Estimated line-up : Degtyarev, Magal, Maslov, Kozhemyakin, Makarchuk, Kravtsov, Saavedra, Nikitin, Kramaric, Meleshin, Pisarsky.
Current form
Ufa have won three victories in their last five games, after which the question of dismissing head coach Evgeny Kharlachev faded into the background. The Citizens managed to beat Sokol (2:0) on their home field in the last round. The team played a good match, was closer to victory and managed to earn the much-needed three points. At this stage, the team occupies 17th place in the standings, has scored 20 points and left the relegation zone. However, the gap from Alania is only one point. It will be difficult to maintain a place in the First League for the next season without strengthening the defensive line, but the whole fight is still ahead.
Disqualifications and injuries
Troyanoy is in the hospital and Perchenok is disqualified.
Interesting trends for betting
- In the last five matches, Ufa did not concede a single goal in the first half
- On average, the club scores one goal per game
Estimated line-up : Baklov, Kutin, Karpov, Kornyushin, Pasevich, Anisimov, Matskharashvili, Stotsky, Ageyan, Lozhkin, Gurenko.

1.60Tip and bets
It is clear that Sochi is a stronger team, which has a number of experienced players. Another thing is that the southerners do not look 100% yet and Robert Moreno can build the game so that the guests will have no choice but to act as second number on counterattacks. At the same time, Sochi pays great attention to set pieces and the home field factor also plays into the hands of the "Bars".
Forecast - Asian handicap (-1) on Sochi with odds of 1.70
Bet on total
Ufa will act rather cautiously, as will the home team. Ufa has been playing quite well lately, but will play defensively against Sochi. The southerners have not yet shown any stability, and they have problems with positional attacks. Under-scoring totals were recorded in four of the last five matches involving the visiting team, which we expect today as well.
Forecast - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.90
Betting on Team Goals
In four of the five matches that have passed, Ufa did not exchange goals with their opponents, and Sochi did not exchange goals in three games. We can assume that in today match, both teams will not score.
Prediction - both teams will not score with odds of 1.67
