β Editor's Pick
This round features promotion contenders, and while Nizhny Novgorod were expected to be among them, Veles's bright start has come as a surprise. The visitors from Nizhny are not only getting results but also showing an impressive attacking game. At least three goals have been scored in each of their last eight matches. Their average goals scored over the last seven matches is 1.5 per game. Veles may sit high in the table, but their defence has left a lot to be desired so far. The team concedes regularly, yet at home they have scored in each of their last seven matches. The league standings give both sides reason to play aggressively, and we expect a high-scoring game. The bet is total goals over 2.5. Predicted score: 1:2.
