⭐ Editor's Pick
Two teams meet whose defensive performances have left a lot to be desired lately. There is no reason to expect anything extraordinary at the back: improvement is unlikely. The resources simply aren't there. Tactically, neither side is ready to make any kind of revolution either. Most likely, we will see fairly open football. Plenty of vertical attacks are expected. Naturally, in such circumstances both teams will be able to create goalscoring situations and convert some of them by the end. Our editors believe the game will be a high-scoring one. We are playing the bet on total over 3.5 goals.
