Rostov - Olimpiyets predictions

Rostov are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Olimpiyets winning, though.

At 4.66 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Olimpiyets are well aware of it themselves.

There’s not much that can be said about Rostov’s performance against Krylya Sovetov in the previous round. Their fans at Rostov Arena were treated to an even score throughout the game which ended in a : draw.

The away team previously recorded an HT/FT draw in their home game against Lokomotiv Moskva. Considering bookmakers overwhelmingly saw them as the clear underdogs, there are plenty of reasons to be content with such an outcome.

The two teams last met in the previous season when Rostov won the clash with a convincing goal difference. Their fans are expecting another clear-cut triumph and the bookmakers tend to agree.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Sunday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

And Under 2.5 Goals bet may not be the obvious choice, but that may be exactly what makes it good. The Pncl sportsbook is pricing this fixture at 2.03, which offers substantial betting value. It’s not without risks, of course, but it’s statistically an excellent choice.
