Total below 2.5
Yenisei
Enisey fights for promotion to the elite division of Russia. After 22 rounds, the team sticks to the play-off zone, taking 4th place in the table.
Over the winter, there were several personnel changes at the club. For example, Vadim Garanin, who led Sochi until November last year, took the place of the first coach.
After resuming the season, the red-and-blue team won 4 points in two rounds. In the first meeting with Volgar (2:1) they managed to turn the tide of the match and thanks to strong will they won. However, in the final round, they only settled for a 2-2 draw with Shinnik.
Tula Arsenal
Tuła “Arsenał” also changed the coach during the winter break. Aleksander Storozhuk was appointed to replace retired Oleg Kononov. Under his leadership, the team had a good training camp, winning 4 games out of 5.
However, when the championship resumed, the red and yellow managed to get only 1 point in two rounds. This made the task of reaching the top four much more difficult as the gap increased to 5 points.
In the match against Dynamo Makhachkala (0:0) they failed to create enough chances, and in the final round against Rodina (2:3) there was not enough conversion.
In the upcoming match, Arsenal will feel a lack of volatility in the last third of the pitch. Wounded Despotovich and Manelov.
Forecast
In the upcoming match, I expect a stubborn confrontation between teams close to each other in class with a minimum of sharp moments.
