Our masters traditionally take a long time to get going. I don't expect a goal-fest in the 1st half. As usual, everything will come down to crosses into the penalty area in the hope of a magical header from Dzyubelya. I think the Maltese figured out Cherchesov's "innovative" tactics a long time ago.... Show more

I think the bookmakers are overrating our Eagles too much. Malta have long since stopped being easy opponents, especially at home. They will park not just a bus, but an entire bus fleet. Our masters of the ball traditionally do not know what to do against teams that play defensively. I would like to... Show more

I’ll risk assuming there won’t be many goals today. Teams near each other in the league table are playing. Baltika are traditionally strong defensively, especially when it is needed. And today they have a worthy opponent. I wouldn’t say that Orenburg are a super-attacking team. They really need the ... Show more

Here I think Reims is the clear favorite, not so much because of their play as because of the condition of their opponent. 9 games without a win must mean something. However, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Therefore, Handicap 0 on Reims. Expectations may be high; Reims is quite a draw-or... Show more

I think today Vitoria Guimaraes will try to take a draw away from Lisbon, focusing on defense. Another question is whether Sporting CP will notice this defense. Sporting CP have been good this season and are moving towards their championship by leaps and bounds. I won't be original: W1, perhaps even... Show more

I won't reinvent the wheel. Sochi are stronger in every respect. It's no wonder the odds are so low. Out of generosity, I'll stake 10% of the bankroll. In general, for the odds to rise, it's better to place this bet live, somewhere around the 20th minute. I think Tambov will have enough energy for t... Show more

Ufa will be fighting to the death on the pitch today. They will try to park the bus. Lokomotiv Moscow, meanwhile, will try not to force the pace. Therefore, most likely we may not see any goals in the 1st half. But both desperately need the points. Lokomotiv Moscow need them to keep their hopes of E... Show more

I won't reveal a secret by saying that Besiktas have been good in this championship. I think they will defeat Basaksehir in this match, as the teams have been at very different levels this year. Although a cup is a cup. Basaksehir can get well motivated for one match, especially since the team has n... Show more

Ufa need points, Rubin Kazan know this and will wait patiently. Slutskiy is a strategist; he understands that they need to protect their goal and will park the bus. Ufa have no serious attacking players, so the 1st half will be a scrappy game, possibly without goals. In the 2nd half, when everyone g... Show more

For the more risky handicap 0 on Spartak Moscow. Most likely, it will be a push. I am leaning more toward a draw. After all, it is a derby, with high-ranking officials in the stands, responsibility, and all that. Therefore, I recommend staying in the live betting and making the necessary adjustments... Show more

A crucial match for both teams. As they say, a 6-point game. The teams are roughly equal. It would be logical to suggest a draw. BUT. After Promes returned, Spartak Moscow grew wings and gained a leader. A crushing victory over Krasnodar! I think Spartak Moscow will be stronger emotionally. I’ll pla... Show more

And one more prediction. I think Zenit, fired up after the defeat, will immediately rush into attack. Akhmat Grozny will defend with the whole team, fouling and clearing the ball out. There will be no time for counterattacks here. In short, I think Akhmat Grozny will not score in the first half. It ... Show more

The game will most likely be low-scoring. Two mid-table teams are playing. Basically, there is no motivation. At least, they will each get 1 point. Also, everyone’s match fitness is currently lower than usual. It is cold and windy outside, and it is easier to destroy than to create. Therefore, I thi... Show more
