Khimki - Sochi betting tips and odds

Khimki will have to put on their best performance to record a home win against Sochi. The price of 3.35 indicates a difficult battle and that’s exactly what we expect to see in this match.

Though it won’t be the easiest match of their careers, Sochi should be able to pull ahead for a victory. Most online bookmakers are pricing an away win at 1.89, which gives us confidence it’s the most likely outcome.

Khimki are coming on the back of a surprise home win (2:0) in the previous round. Predictions and sportsbook agreed that they didn’t have much of a chance going in the clash against Orenburg – but they pulled off a draw at half-time and a decisive 2:0 lead in the second half.

Sochi’s previous round was a home match against Spartak Moskva which ended in a draw. The scores were equal at half-time as well, which was quite surprising given the 3.70 odds on a home win.

The first step Khimki need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Premier League engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

The away team are seen as favourites despite their role as the visitors, and that makes a lot of sense considering the previous clash with Khimki they had. Sochi pulled far ahead of their opponents and secured a decisive victory.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1 odds offered at 10Bet.
