Veles hosts Spartak Kostroma on 30 October 2026 at 18:00 in the First League. Spartak arrive as favourites after winning seven of their last ten matches across all competitions, while Veles have failed to win in seven of their last ten outings. The visitors' recent form is stronger: they won 1-0 away at Yaroslavl on 13 October and drew 1-1 at home to Veles on 1 June 2025. Veles' last two results show inconsistency—a 0-1 loss away to Ulyanovsk on 25 October followed by a 1-1 home draw against Yaroslavl on 18 October.
Form and H2H
Spartak Kostroma's last ten matches in the First League show 1.30 goals scored per game and 0.70 goals conceded per game, with seven wins in ten outings. Veles at home average 1.00 goals scored and 1.00 goals conceded per game over their last ten First League matches, with three wins, three draws, and four losses. Head-to-head records between the sides show a split pattern: Spartak won 1-0 at Veles on 17 November 2024 and again 1-0 on 19 April 2025, but Veles took 2-1 victories on 8 October 2023 and 1 June 2025. Two meetings ended 0-0 and 1-1.
Best bet
Spartak Kostroma under 1.5 goals is the pick. The visitors average 1.30 goals per game in their last ten First League outings, but eight of those ten matches saw them score one goal or fewer. Veles' defence has been solid recently, conceding a maximum of one goal in eight of their last ten matches across all competitions. Spartak's modest output in the First League this season, combined with Veles' habit of limiting opposition to single goals, makes a low-scoring performance from the visitors the likely outcome. The bet targets Spartak scoring zero or one goal rather than two or more.
