In the match between Nizhny Novgorod and Astana, a high total score of over 151.5 is expected. Nizhny Novgorod is in the top 5 teams of the VTB league, has a strong attacking game, and home advantage. Astana is reducing the number of foreign players, which may affect the defense and effectiveness of the team. Both teams have balanced squads, indicating the possibility of a high-scoring game. It is expected that the game will be intense with many shots, which is likely to result in exceeding the set total.
It seems that the Kazakh team has had some tough matches recently, but this time there is hope for an improvement in their performance. Taking into account the previous results, the team should be motivated to show a better game. Additionally, the opponent at this stage is also not in top form, which could be an extra incentive for the Kazakh team. Considering the home advantage, support from the fans, and the team's potential, betting on them to cover the +25.5 handicap seems quite justified.
