Tobol vs Ruzomberok Prediction & Betting Tips (18 July)

Ouch ouch ouch, the Kazakh team of Tobol took on water in the first leg in Slovakia by conceding a very bitter defeat with 5 goals conceded 5-2. Despite the 2 goals scored, it's as if she had eaten a good old 3-0. 3 goals to go, it seems difficult on paper but not impossible, it's still football. We will have to give ourselves the means but we cannot say that the locals are riding on increased confidence by being only 4th in the Kazakh first division with 6 lengths behind Ordabasy. Last weekend, they will have played in the championship against Kyzylzhar at home to follow and they will try to go on to a 4th day of the championship without defeat after their success on the pitch of Aktobe 3-4, against Kairat Almaty at the home 1-0 and a parity score, away, on the pitch of Atyrau 0-0.

Absolutely not expected at this level, Ruzomberok literally offered an XXL performance in the first leg by winning by scoring 5 goals! 5-2. With a lead of 3 goals, one might think that the debates are over but far from it, given the content of the first round, we will have to be wary of the still waters for the Slovaks. Unlike their opponent today, the visitors will not have participated in any matches during the weekend and they will be physically fresher. We still see a not very prolific preparation with only one success in six friendly matches for a record of 4 draws.

Left to rest before the first leg, boys like Ivanovic (4 goals in the league) and Chesnokov (3 pawns in the league) were present for the first round and will be there for this 2nd score. Same case for the Moroccan El Messaoudi (2 goals in the championship) and for Henen (2 pawns in the championship, scorer in the first leg). On the other hand, the Portuguese Pedro Eugenio (2 goals in the championship) and the Italian Cooper (2 pawns also in the elite) did not take part in the first round. Only one significant absence among the Slovaks, that of the middle Samuel Sefcik (3 goals, 3 assists last season in the league) who has not played again since the launch of preparation.

For the rest, all of the strong elements from last year in the championship are there. We start the list with Martin Boda (5 goals, remained on the bench in the first leg), Martin Chrien (4 goals, 3 assists last year), midfielder Lavrincik (4 goals, 2 assists), Gerec (4 pawns ), Domonkos (4 goals, on the bench in the first leg), without forgetting to mention Hladik (2 goals, 3 cakes), Selecky (2 goals, 2 caviars), or the Slovak U21 international, Tucny (2 pawns , 2 assists) and Maly (defender, first leg scorer). Note that 4 of the 5 goals scored in the first leg were the work of 3 defenders, including a double for central Simon Gabriel.
