11.00Tip and bets
Arsenal impressed with their exploits in the Cup in the previous stages, when they passed the Torch and the Ruby. However, today the gunsmiths have a rival of a different level and a different style of play. The locomotive relies on the attack, goes forward with great strength, is not afraid to miss itself. Even taking into account the possible rotation, the railwaymen have a significant advantage in class and are able to achieve a comfortable victory largely due to their attacking style of play.
Our betting tip is that the Locomotive with the Asian handicap (-1.5) will win by a factor of 2.14
Bet on the total
In matches involving Lokomotiv, it is logical to consider betting options on goals scored. The railwaymen can easily open the defenses of any opponent and it is unlikely that the protection of a representative of the First League will be a serious obstacle for them. At the same time, the Muscovites conceded in four of the five previous cup games, Arsenal's goal will not be a big surprise.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.95
Betting on corners
The locomotive does not have high angular performance. So, in five of the six previous matches, the railwaymen were inferior to their rivals in the number of corners. Based on this trend, we recommend another option for betting.
Prediction – Arsenal win on corners with a handicap (+3.5) with a coefficient of 1.77
