2.50Tip and bets
The visitors managed to get out of the crisis, winning four victories in a row after a series of three defeats. The hosts have the opposite situation - an impressive series of nine victories smoothly flowed into a series of defeats. The Yaroslavl team also has statistics in face-to-face matches - only in the last meeting of the teams was the series of seven victories in a row of Lokomotiv interrupted. We are inclined to think that now the team from Yaroslavl will be stronger.
Our prediction is Lokomotiv victory in the match at 1.72
Bet on total
The visitors have significantly improved their defense and have conceded no more than one goal in most of their recent matches. The hosts have not been impressive in attack in recent matches, so we should expect a quiet victory for Lokomotiv without a large number of goals scored.
Our prediction is under 5.5 goals for 1.95
Bet on individual total
In the last home matches, the Red Army failed to please with high efficiency. The team scored no more than three goals per match and it is likely that now it will not be possible to surpass this result, because Loko plays excellently at its goal. We do not expect more than three goals from the army team.
Our prediction is the Red Army individual total of less than three goals for 1.55
