Rostov - Sochi predictions

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

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Sochi who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

Rostov will be full of confidence heading into the Saturday clash. They recorded a compelling Dinamo Moskva away victory last time out and will be keen to keep the momentum going. They were given 3.67 betting odds to claim three points but it’s fair to say not many people expected them to do so as impressively as they did.

Sochi didn’t have much hope of winning their previous Premier League engagement – most bookies priced their victory at 2.18. Against all odds, though, they managed to end the bout with a draw thanks to an equaliser in the second half.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

Sochi fans are hoping they’ll be able to break the stalemate this time. Their latest 3 games all ended in a draw, which is far from ideal.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.92 if you use the Pncl sportsbook.
