Betting Insights

• The odds are Chelyabinsk 2.58, Yenisey 2.85 and the draw 3.23.
• Under 2.5 goals at 1.7 looks a decent bet on this clash, given both sides have looked a bit blunt lately.

Prediction

• The press-versus-bypass nature of this matchup looks set to create a tight, transition-heavy game rather than a slow possession game.
• A low-scoring away result or tight Yenisey win looks the most likely outcome as the hosts can't be trusted to maintain any lead for long.
