The guests are playing a great game this season of the Armenian championship, but the average player of the Armenian Premier League can hardly compete with the leaders of the Russian First League. The hosts plan to get into the RPL and match the top league of Russian football in terms of composition and resources. We believe that Sochi will have no problems in this match.
Our forecast is Sochi's victory in 1.60
Bet on the total
In the First League, the hosts prefer to play attacking football and remain one of the most productive teams in the league. The visitors are also doing well offensively and have scored at least two goals in each of the last three friendly matches. We think that the clubs will be able to play effectively, so we advise you to put more on the total.
Our forecast is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.60
The first half bet
The hosts will not delay the matter and will try to convert the advantage in class into goals scored in the first half. We believe that Sochi residents will finish the first half of the match with an advantage in the score.
