Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match
It's hard to see too many goals in this match between Olimpiyets and Fakel given their lack of goalscoring ability.
That is why we project the total to go under 2.5 goals. So if 2 or fewer goals are scored, the bet wins.
Our prediction is: Fakel win or draw
We feel strongly about Fakel's chances of leaving with a point, or maybe even more. That is why our betting tip is Fakel to win or draw on the Double Chance market.
Fakel has shown considerable courage and determination in their recent away performances, while Olimpiyets's form has not been the most convincing. So while an away win might be too much to ask for, Fakel is more than capable of collecting a point in this match.
