Orenburg - Sochi predictions

Orenburg are definitely more likely to win, though all three possible results are quite reasonable to expect. This makes it hard to make reliable betting predictions when this match is concerned, though we may find some betting value.

Sochi is a team that doesn't shy away from a challenge and we anticipate them giving their all in this matchup.

Though Orenburg are here after an away defeat in the previous round against Spartak Moskva , that performance does not offer an accurate assessment of their form. They played as visitors against an overwhelmingly stronger opponent, so perhaps the draw in the first half and 1:0 loss aren’t too bad.

Sochi punched far above their weight class in the previous round by decisively winning at Akhmat Grozny – an outcome Premier League betting odds thought to be almost impossible. Better yet, they were leading throughout the match, and the final score was a rather convincing 2:4.

Orenburg can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 7 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Sochi’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

On Sunday, both teams will have a complete roster at their disposal, thanks to a lack of injuries or suspensions.

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 1.98 odds offered at Pncl.
