Fakel - Orenburg predictions

The online bookies marked Fakel as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Orenburg winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

It would be a minor miracle for Orenburg to win at Fakel, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 3.72 price on most online sportsbooks.

Fakel are here after one of the biggest upsets of the Premier League season. They went into the match against Spartak Moskva as clear underdogs in an away game but were already leading before the first half was over. The final result was a decisive 0:2 victory – something that no-one could have predicted.

Orenburg went into their previous match against Baltika with a slight edge in form and home-field advantage, resulting in a comfortable and somewhat predictable 1:0 home win.

The last time these two teams met Fakel managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

Sunday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

A confirmed Under 2.5 Goals market seems like a foregone conclusion for this particular match. The only thing to do now is to decide whether the relatively short 1.67 odds are worth your time. We would say they are because this bet manages to have real betting value as well.
