Lochin vs Respublika FA — Tips & Analysis

Respublika FA +1: Respublika rarely get beaten badly, and that is the best reason to be with them. They have lost by 2 or more goals only twice in their last 18 games. They are also that rare team who are better away from home. On the road they have won three, tied two and lost four, scoring more than a goal a game and letting in just over one. At home they let in 2 goals a game. They have won three of their last four away trips, including 2-1 at BuxDu and 3-1 at Kattaqurgon. Lochin are solid at their own ground, with four wins, four ties and one loss there, and less than a goal a game let in. Their home nights are tight rather than one-sided. The last four finished 1-1, 1-0, 2-1 and 0-0. The only meeting between these two, back in May, finished 0-0. All of that points to another close, low-scoring afternoon. A 1-1 is the most likely single score, and that is exactly the kind of result this pick wants. There is a catch. Respublika have had only four days off against Lochin's eight. Both teams have taken bad beatings this season too, Lochin losing 0-5 at Metalourg and Respublika 0-7 at home to Gazalkent. We still expect Respublika to stay with them.
