Krasnodar and Rostov in European competition: what to bet on? – Betting News

Krasnodar – PAOK

The second run of the Galitsky club in the Champions League. A year ago Krasnodar surprised by first beating Porto in qualifying and then losing out to Olympiacos without a chance. And here again a tough opponent from Greece, it’s good that the bulls are playing the first match at home. Krasnodar players are in good shape and mood after the defeat of Khimki with a score of 7: 2. All injured except for Ari returned to duty. Particularly important is the return of Klasson a year later – the Swede himself scored two goals against Khimki and distributed assists with his heels.

PAOK has already passed Besiktas and Benfica in this selection. Moreover, the Greeks played with the Portuguese in their favorite manner: they gave the ball to the opponent, endured in defense, and twice punished the opponent on the counterattacks. Vice champion Greece has few concedes in general, including thanks to the good goalkeeper Zhivkovic. In Russia, some experts grumbled at Krasnodar, believing that he scored too much against Khimki and that there was nothing left at PAOK. But these are completely different teams, and in any case there will be a more cautious game with the Greeks. Here the bet “total goals less than 2.5” looks interesting, in bookmaker Winline it is given a coefficient of 1.72.

Rostov – Maccabi

Rostov last played in European competition in the 2016/17 season – remember those matches with Ajax, Atlético and Bayern? The club from the south of Russia again has a chance to meet with the European grandee. To do this, we need to win today Maccabi from Haifa and go to the winner of the Shkendia – Tottenham pair. Karpin was not very pleased with the cancellation of the match with Rotor: the training cycle was out of order, on the other hand, the players will be fresh and will be able to put the squeeze on their opponents in the second half if they fail to decide the outcome of the game in the first.

Maccabi Haifa is known as the first Israeli club to make it to the Champions League group stage. But such local European successes have not happened to this team for a long time, even in the group stage of the LE, it was last released 7 years ago. Before the meeting with Rostov, the Israelis beat Zheleznichar (3: 1) and Kairat (2: 1) at home, but now they will not have the advantage of their field, here everything will be decided in one match. Keeping in mind the bitter experience of Dynamo, Rostov should not be relaxed about this meeting. AND on the victory of Karpin’s team in regulation time they give a good coefficient of 1.87.
