Football betting preview: Sochi favourites when Tyumen visits

Competition: Russia FNL
Date: Sun 07.April
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: Malaya Sportivnaya Arena

Only a win will satisfy Sochi supporters in this Malaya Sportivnaya Arena clash with Tyumen, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the FNL table.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

It's quite the trip for Tyumen when visiting Sochi as the cities are 3100 kilometers apart.
