What to expect
We expect about 1.2 goals from Akhmat Grozny and 1.0 from FK Rostov, so Akhmat Grozny come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.1 goals in the game, so we are braced for a tight one where good chances are rare.
Our pick: Under 2.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.1 goals in total (xG 1.2-1.0), keeping it under more often than not (about 58%). Clear chances should be at a premium.
We put the chance of that landing at about 58 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.68, which works out at about 60 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

One thing to watch
A goal against the run of play opens the game up, and a tight total can slip away fast. We make it about 58% and the price sits right on top of that, so there's little cushion if it turns.
