Akhmat Grozny Team Overview
🟢 Akhmat extended their unbeaten streak in the RPL to eight matches, matching their personal best. This run briefly lifted them out of the relegation playoff zone, but it was short-lived. The streak ended with a 1-3 defeat against Krasnodar, right after their exit from the Russian Cup at the hands of Lokomotiv.
🔗 In the last round, Akhmat once again failed to secure any points. They faced Pari NN, a fellow struggler in the relegation playoff zone. Towards the end of the first half, their opponents converted a penalty and then resorted to a deep defensive setup. Despite playing better overall, Akhmat's dominance yielded no results, as they struggled against the compact defense of Nizhny Novgorod. In stoppage time, Akhmat earned a penalty, which had to be retaken. However, on both attempts, they couldn't beat the opposing goalkeeper. Consequently, the score remained unchanged, and Akhmat slipped to 14th place in the standings.

CSKA Moscow Team Overview
🔴 CSKA remain the only unbeaten team in the RPL during the spring phase. This impressive run has seen them climb from sixth to third place in the standings. A pivotal moment came last weekend against Spartak. The "Red-Blues" played a defensive game and created few chances, yet they emerged victorious (2-1) thanks to Christian Bistrovic's goal in the 89th minute. Notably, 20-year-old defender Dzhamalutdin Abdulkadyrov made his debut for the "Army Men," delivering a solid performance.
🔗 Abdulkadyrov also started in the Russian Cup match against Zenit. He was paired with young Matvey Lukin in defense, while Vladislav Torop took his place between the posts. With so many inexperienced players in key positions, they were unable to hold off the reigning champions, losing 2-0. However, there's still a second leg to be played in Moscow.

Latest news
Akhmat Grozny
📣 Akhmat's head coach Sergey Tashuev pointed to poor finishing as the reason for their defeat against Pari NN: "In life, sometimes people receive gifts. Today, we gifted three points to our opponents. We had complete control throughout the game's scenario. The ball was bouncing around their penalty area, but we just couldn't find the net. This has been our issue since last season. We're lacking finishers, players who can deliver the final blow. We can't convert our chances into goals. At the end, we earned a penalty, but it was some kind of paradox…".
❌ The only player unavailable for Akhmat is Anton Shvets, who is undergoing rehabilitation after surgery.
CSKA Moscow
📣 For CSKA's head coach, the scoreline against Zenit isn't too disappointing: "I'm proud of my team; they fought hard, gave it their all until the end. We had a lot of young players on the field today. They battled against everything and everyone. Once again, we conceded from a penalty. Of course, we gifted both goals to them. The first one was just unlucky, with three deflections. The second one was entirely our fault, and that's where I can be upset. But in all other aspects, the team did well."
📢 CSKA's general director Roman Babaev has noted the progress of Saul Guarirapa following the winter training camp. The player is currently on loan. However, a final decision regarding his contract will be made in a few weeks.
❌ Rodrigo Villagra is unlikely to feature in the upcoming match, as he still hasn't reached full fitness or made his debut for the club. Additionally, after the derby with Spartak, the "Army Men" have lost three players due to yellow card suspensions-Miralem Pjanic, Milan Gajic, and Moisés.
