Betting Insights
- The odds suggest that Veles Moscow should win this one, but the price is too tight for them at 3.45, leaving Volga at 2.22 and the draw at 3.26 to be our starting point.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.7 looks the sharpest bet, as both teams to score is a coin-toss on this occasion.
Prediction
- The draw looks the most likely outcome, although we are going to take a Volga edge for small stakes on Sunday.
- Volga are in good form and have a good record against Veles, so a home win is a strong play.
