Sochi vs Fakel Voronezh tips and predictions

Not much much wrong in prices ahead of tight Premier League encounter

This looks like one of those encounters where Sochi do just enough to get the job done and they're sure to face some resistance from this Fakel Voronezh outfit.

You may not agree but Sochi might have reasons to be confident about adding to Fakel Voronezh's latest reverses. The visitors come into the game looking to snap a 4-match losing streak. This doesn't look like the recent record of a team that will fancy their chances.

The hosts have enjoyed some form. Sochi have scored two or more goals in 4 of their recent 7 matches.

Fakel Voronezh looked shaky under pressure in their recent games. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 4 matches. They might be more concerned about the form at the other end of the pitch though. Netting an average of just 0.5 goals in their last 11 matches, Fakel Voronezh have would have wanted more.

Sochi have won 2 of the last 3 fixtures between these sides. Some analysts like to ignore them but the head-to-head stats show how well they have done before.

It's possible that this match will be determined by which team is the first to open their account. It would be weird to imply that the favourites are a lock here. It's possible that the two sides cancel each other out in a war of attrition. It's not a strong view compared to other previews but the No BTTS bet could be sensible.
