⭐ Editor's Pick
Rotor are considered clear favourites for the upcoming match, despite the fact that the two teams have started the season in almost identical fashion and are sitting close to each other in the table. The hosts performed noticeably better last season, and home advantage adds further weight to their case. In Volgograd, the club has been very confident overall: the team have won 6 of their last 7 home matches in the First League. So the most logical bet is on a Rotor win. The predicted score is 2:0.
