Khimki concede 39 (if I am not mistaken) goals in the first half, which is an anti-record for the entire league, at least this season. The match will be tense, both teams are fighting for survival, so I think a goal from Torpedo in the first half can be expected.

Given that Khimki score few goals, including in the 1st half (only 3 goals this season in the 1st half), I can suggest that they will not score in the 1st half in this game either. Torpedo do not have any significant defensive absences, so it is worth taking the risk.

The game is crucial for both teams. For Verona, it is the game of a lifetime. The opponent is strong, and I think Verona understands this perfectly, so the game will be tough. Verona consistently gets at least 2 YC, so in such a crucial match, I think they will comfortably hit TO 2.5.

Both matches are fundamentally important. I expect a very tight contest in which someone will have to give way, but first both teams will score. I don't think a draw will suit either of them, so the total should go over, as should BTTS.
