⭐ Editor's Prediction
No clear favourite here, according to the bookmakers. Chelyabinsk have more experience at this level, but home advantage gives Veles a real boost. Both sides should be going for goals, and at least two have been scored in 8 of Veles's last 9 home matches. That makes total goals over 2 a reasonable call. Predicted score: 1-2.
