"I would like to talk about a match that has direct signs of a fixed result, in simple words - a contractual one. This is the match of the First League "FSC Mariupol" - "Metalist 1925", which surprised with its result, because the favorite was obvious. The match odds even spoke about it.
On the victory of "Metalist 1925" both in the 1st half and in general the odds were 1.39 - logical, obvious. Accordingly, on "Mariupol" the odds were much higher. On the victory in the 1st half and the whole match the odds were 6.80.
But there are strong suspicions that with the beginning of the match they started to load, if not to say solid, then, maybe, even fantastic, cosmic sums. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the drop in the odds already from the first seconds of the match.
At the zero minute the odds were 6.80, and at the 1st minute they were already 5.80. Another 2 minutes pass - 4.95. What did "Mariupol" do in 2 minutes? Metalist 1925 did not have a suspension, there was no penalty or anything else.
10th minute, the score is still 0:0, the coefficient is already 3,97. 16th minute - 2,63. 18th minute - 2.53, 19th minute - all the bookmakers that had a line on this match are closing down and getting out of this game. Because we understand that there are signs that until the 19th minute, until the line was closed, there was a big loading of funds, they loaded large amounts on the victory of Mariupol in the 1st half and in general in the match.
3 minutes passed after the line was closed - and "Mariupol" scored. More precisely, "Metalist 1925" scores in their own goal", - said Burbas.
