Tyumen vs Alania Vladikavkaz Prediction & Betting Tips (16 October)

Alania Vladikavkaz have secured an impressive 33 points from the last 35 available in the Russian Cup, with the coach charges winning all six of their games on the road during this period. The form of Tyumen could not be much more contrasting, with their previous 10 matches at this level resulting in no wins, four draws and eight defeats.

Ten of the last 11 Tyumen matches in the Russian Cup have served up two goals or fewer, so there is no reason to expect anything different in what is an important game for both sides. In fact, eight of the previous 10 Alania Vladikavkaz away games at this level have also been of the under 2.5 goals variety, meaning that it would come as a shock to see three goals or more.

At least one of the two keepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 10 of the most recent 16 Tyumen matches on their own patch in the Russian Cup, so thrills and spills have been few and far between. Given that seven of the previous ten Alania Vladikavkaz away games at this level have followed the same pattern, any deviation from this script would come as a shock.
