Ulytau - FC Yelimay: our prediction

Ulytau has seen 5 of its last 6 matches end with under 2.5 goals. FC Yelimay, although more offensive, also has 4 of its last 10 matches under this threshold. Both teams have relatively solid defenses (Ulytau: 2 clean sheets/6; Yelimay: 2/10) and the attacks are not explosive. The most likely scenario is a low-scoring match.

Ulytau's attack is very weak: they have scored 2 or more goals in 0 of their last 6 matches (parou15: 0/6). They have scored only one goal in 2 of their last 6 matches (parou05: 2/6). Facing Yelimay's defense (2 clean sheets/10, but only 3 matches where the opponent scored 0 goals in 10), it is likely that Ulytau will not find the back of the net. This statistic is reinforced by the fact that Yelimay has lost only once as a favorite in their last 6 matches in that role.

FC Yelimay is clearly the favorite (odds 1.73). In their last 10 matches, they have 4 wins against 5 defeats, but they have won 4 of the last 6 matches where they were favored. Ulytau, at home, has only one win in their last 6 matches and 3 defeats. Yelimay's form and superior quality, with scorers like Fessou, Sviridov, and Kenzhebek (4 goals each), should make the difference in a likely tight match.
