Beitar, in turn, show poor results in recent matches, taking only one win in their last five league games. This record dropped the team from leading group on sixth position with 19 points gained in 14 matches. Five away fixtures of the season got Beitar only six points with six goals scored and eight allowed.
The opponents face one another quite often and neither of the teams have advantage in head-to-head record. Moreover, the teams gained the same number of points before upcoming matchups. We should note that the teams don’t show high scoring this season and there shouldn’t be plenty of scored goals in the match as stakes are high and the loser may lose their place in top-six.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
