Betting Insights

• Veles are 2.2 favourites to win on Sunday ahead of Leningradets at 3.64 and the draw at 3.14.
• We're inclined to favor the home side to edge it here, but the draw looks a live bet for a few reasons, the recent head-to-head record being the main one.
• We're taking Under 2.5 goals at 1.63 and Both Teams to Score - No at 1.83.

Prediction

• Veles have won three of their last five in all competitions, losing twice, which makes the Moscow team the likelier to edge this contest.
• Veles' two home wins this season, conceding just one goal, and the 1-1 scoreline from the last meeting when these teams last faced off last season point to this being a low-scoring match, which is why we're taking Under 2.5 goals at 1.63 and Both Teams to Score - No at 1.83.
• However, as a single score bet, the tie looks good value in the current market.
