Expert Betting Tips

Everything about this game and the teams is pointing towards a draw, and I believe this game will end in a draw. The hosts have only managed to win in their last 10 games, while the visitors have won three of their last nine games. So, none of these sides can be trusted in a game like this. On the other hand, I expect fewer goals to be scored because of the offensive strength of both sides.

Our prediction for the match is for the game to see less than three goals for odds of 1.65 at Betway.

Our second prediction is for at least a team to keep a clean sheet (BTTS-NO) for odds of 1.80 at Bet365.

Our third prediction is a draw for odds of 3.40 at 1xbet.
