Baltika - Makhachkala predictions

Baltika might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Makhachkala are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Makhachkala who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

A CSKA Moskva defeat is something Baltika want to make a swift return from. This narrow loss from the previous round of the Premier League came after a tied first half which had the host believing they might get at least a point in front of their home support.

Premier League betting odds described the away team’s previous engagement as a rather close call, so it’s no surprise that it ended with a draw. The outcome is far from great news for Makhachkala, though, who were hoping that the home-field advantage will be enough to allow them to overcome the opposition.

If you’re looking for an Under 5 Goals football bet, Baltika may offer a decent opportunity. Their previous two matches even confirmed the Under 5 Goals market.

Makhachkala can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

Sunday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
