1.58Tip and bets
Last season, the rivals were in the bottom half of the tournament table and did not even think about fighting for the championship. Now everything has changed dramatically and the teams are considered the main contenders for the title. The hosts have ended most of their last matches in a draw, so it is difficult to expect Dynamo to win the match with the championship leader. At the same time, the guests have not shown a championship game in their last matches, so a draw is quite likely here.
Our prediction is a draw at 3.00
Bet on total
The opponents pay a lot of attention to defensive actions, which allowed them to achieve such impressive results. Surely, in such an important match, the teams will play reliably at their gates. In five of the last six face-to-face matches, the opponents did not score more than two goals. The same result should be expected now.
Our prediction is total under two goals at 1.88
Bet on corners
We believe that the opponents will rely on defense in this match, so it is unlikely that the total number of corners will be exceeded.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners for 1.70
