⭐ Editor's Prediction
The bookmakers see Sochi as the clear favourite here, backed by a stronger squad and serious ambitions to get back into the RPL. Arsenal Tula will almost certainly set up defensively and try to keep things tight for as long as possible. But if the visitors do hold out until half-time, they may simply run out of steam in the second half. Worth noting: Sochi have scored after the break in all seven of their last head-to-head matches against Arsenal Tula. Given that, a bet on Sochi to score in the second half makes sense. Predicted score: 2:0.
