In this pair, a closed game is planned to be dictated by the guests with a minimum number of scoring chances.

We believe that the scoring extravaganza will not take place in the confrontation.

Rubin defends well, and in the last five matches, the Tyumen club has conceded only six goals. We can assume that the Krasnoyarsk team will score no more than two goals, as they scored one goal each in the last two face-to-face matches.
The forecast is that the individual total of the "Falcon" is less than two goals in 1.85
