Rotor’s Home Advantage

The Volgograd side has concluded an extended series of away matches. Denis Boyarintsev’s men played three consecutive away fixtures, earning two points without even scoring a single goal. However, Rotor demonstrates a significantly stronger performance on home turf, having remained unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 FNL matches at home (4 wins, 1 draw). Notably, the only goal conceded during this period occurred in their sole home defeat.

Chernomorets’ Away Challenges

Chernomorets’ two recent commanding victories should not be misinterpreted. Torpedo and Chayka are teams battling against relegation, ranking among the bottom three in the league for goals conceded. Consequently, Chernomorets will likely find it challenging to achieve high scoring against the Volgograd team. In fact, throughout the current season, the club has scored no more than one goal in 5 of their 7 away fixtures. Furthermore, their recent win against Torpedo marked their first away victory in the FNL 2025/26 season (after 3 draws and 3 losses).

Our Betting Pick

Considering these factors, our prediction is:  Rotor will not lose, and Total Goals Under 3.5 with odds of 1.45.
