Sochi - Rostov predictions

Sochi have a big mountain to climb. The task ahead is difficult but not impossible but with 3.44 slapped on home win in this match, this one is for the risk-takers.

No outcome of this match would catch us by surprise. It’s a rarely fair matchup, though that’s not always good for betting. Currently, though, Rostov are somewhat more likely to triumph with betting odds of 2.22 on them winning.

The hosts will be keen to make a swift return to winning ways following their last round’s disappointment. They suffered a dreadful Orenburg away defeat without ever getting close to salvaging anything from the game. Having conceded early on in the game, things went from bad to worse for Sochi.

The away team’s failure to win their previous Premier League matchup was not a welcome sight for their home supporters. Entering the match as clear favourites, they wound up bogged down in a stalemate with Akron which lasted throughout the game’s runtime.

Sochi’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 8 goals throughout their latest three Premier League matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

A successful Over 2.5 Goals bet seems very unlikely, based on Rostov’s previous performance. None of their 5 most recent Premier League matches featured more than 2 goals.

The absence of injuries or suspensions means both teams will have their full lineups at their disposal for a thrilling matchup.

Backing the visitors here is definitely on the safe side, but we still recommend going for a Draw No Bet. You can then rest assured that you’ll get plenty of value and not worry about losing to an unfortunate stalemate.
