19/06/2018. Russia - Egypt. World Cup 2018. Offsides

The team of Corner-stats.com wants to pay attention to the rapidly developing market of bets on football statistics, namely, bets on offsides. While we do not pay much attention to such types as bets on saves and other exotics, because they are not contained in the official records of the match, and to appeal such results is difficult, if the bookmaker calculated that the bet lost. Today we will talk about offsides.

Let's turn to the match Russia - Egypt. As in the previous forecast, there are no personal meetings, which means that the main focus is on similar matches.

So, what is the stats of total offsides over 3.5 for these teams in similar matches:

• 4 of 4 matches of Russia national team in international tournaments in the seasons of 2014-18. If you add similar friendlies of Russia, the played 8 similar friendly games in 2015-18, of which 5 ended with total offsides of 4 or more;
• 2 out of 2 similar matches of the Egyptian national team in international tournaments in the 2015-18 seasons. Unfortunately, Egypt has not played similar matches in the last three years;

So, 100% (6 out of 6) of similar international matches for the teams ended with total offsides of 4 or more (offsides statistics of similar matches for both teams can be seen in the screenshot below or on the site Corner-stats.com).

Now, let's look at the statistics of the last matches of both teams:

• 11 out of 17 matches of the Russian national team in international tournaments in the 2016-2018 seasons;
• 4 of the last 13 matches of the Egyptian national team in international tournaments in the 2016-2018 season.

For Egypt, the last international matches (with the exception of friendly games) do not look very convincing, but in this case, in the absence or a small number of games (as is often the case with teams), the main ones are similar matches that look good.

The team of Corner-stats.com considers the bet on total offsides over 3.5 at odds 1.72 at PariMatch or at odds 1.9 in Betcity or Olymp to be attractive.
