Bet on the total

Our opponents have not performed well in recent matches. The hosts haven't scored in four matches already, so you shouldn't expect a lot of goals scored here. Most likely, we will have a hard-fought match in which one or two goals will decide everything.

Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.52

Betting on corners

If the meeting takes place at a cautious pace, we are unlikely to see a large number of serves from the corner flag. We're betting on a grassroots total by corners.
