Telavi vs Dinamo Batumi tips and predictions

Huge task for Telavi

The home win probably hasn't worried too many sportsbooks but there's something about this big price that looks interesting.

The hosts are coming into the match having bagged 5 wins from their last 7 games. Depending on who you listen to, you might have heard that Dinamo Batumi are a dead-cert for this. That doesn't sound right.

Telavi are going to have to produce a level of football most people don't think they have in them. If the hosts can grind out a win they will need to build on their recent performances. They scored at least once in all of their recent 8 matches and that quality has been shown all over the field. In defence they've conceded no more than once in all of their last 4 home games.

Dinamo Batumi have actually conceded at least once in 6 of their last 7 matches. Their harsher critics will be asking questions about the stats from the other end of the pitch. The visitors have not been able to depend on their play-makers in some of their recent engagements. They've scored one or less goals in 2 of their last 3 matches.

Most previews are saying that only one side is likely to score because of the overwhelming favouritism for Dinamo Batumi. But the odds-against for the BTTS Yes makes more sense.

The hosts can be pleased with their recent displays across the park and they'll need to hope that they can produce an all-team performance if they can really deny the visitors.
