The second tier of Russian football averages 1.98 per game only and it is expected week in week out to see matches falling under the under 2.5 category rather than the over. At current, Anzhi are third on the table after eleven games into the season. Their powerful front line and mean defence have helped them propel to such a great position but in recent weeks, they have been drawing a couple too many games. But overall, since this match is played at their home ground, I think they will win this match just like they do against weaker oppositions with a win to nil scoreline.

FC Chita did record a 2-0 win over Chernomorets in their last match but despite that, their away form has been their down point with no wins in 6 games into the season. Chita themselves know that they are not some large prestige club around the nation but they do sometimes make it more competitive by reducing the scoreline into an acceptable one. Only 3/10 previous games have went over 2.5 and hence, I will be choosing the under 2.5 pick here.

Pick: Under 2.5 @2.10
