Expert Betting Tips
Both sides are really struggling for form this season, and I don’t think I can trust their offenses or defenses. However, I expect a draw in this clash, and the head-to-head record between both sides clearly shows that games between both sides have always been dull, with a minimal number of goals. So, I expect such a result here as well.
Our prediction for this match is to see less than three goals for odds of 1.68 at 1xbet.
Our second prediction is a draw at odds of 3.15 at Bet365.
Our third prediction for this match is that at least one team will keep a clean sheet, with odds of 1.86 at Betway.
