Makhachkala - Fakel predictions

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

The matchup this Sunday is rather one-sided, with Fakel seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.92, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

The hosts can feel pretty satisfied with their previous match. Makhachkala had a difficult trip to survive in the Premier League and they did it by holding on both at the halftime mark and following the final whistle for an HT/FT Olimpiyets draw.

Fakel faced off against Dinamo Moskva in the previous round, who were considerably stronger going in – the odds on Fakel’s home win were 4.03 with top online bookmakers. After being behind on half time, however, they managed to equalize for a decent 1:1 draw.

Despite playing on home turf, Fakel’s latest home games tend to end inconclusively. Currently, they’re on a string of 3 home draws so, hopefully, an away game is what’s needed for a more comprehensive result.

These two teams already clashed multiple times this season, and neither managed to come out on top in any of those games. Most bookmakers see Makhachkala as the favourites, though, so they’ll want to use the extra drive of being the hosts to finally earn a conclusive result.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

The 1xbet sportsbook is offering 1 odds on the Both Teams to Score market, which is a very good bet to take. Considering the team’s records and statistics, it’s as safe of a bet as possible.
