Akhmat vs Spartak Moscow Prediction 9 November 2025
🔊 Can Akhmat break their losing streak in the Russian Premier League? It will be a tough task against Spartak, as reflected in the odds for each side's victory. For Stanislav Cherchesov, this match holds special significance. It will be a clash between the former and current coaches of the "Red-Whites." Both have also led Ferencváros to success at different times. Although Akhmat are not in top form right now, they shouldn't be written off. We'll explore various scenarios to provide the most insightful prediction. It's worth noting that the match will take place in Grozny, at the Akhmat-Arena.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over a stretch of 37 head-to-head matches, Spartak hold the upper hand with a 49 percent win rate. However, their last triumph came in the 2021/2022 season when the Moscow side outperformed both at home and away. Since then, five draws have been recorded, with Akhmat claiming a solitary victory. Last season, the matches were so fiercely contested that not a single goal was scored over 180 minutes.
Recently, the teams frequently end up drawing against each other. There hasn't been a winner in the first halves of their last five encounters. This scenario could very well play out in the upcoming game. Thus, we suggest betting on a draw in the 1st half.
Head-to-head statistics Akhmat - Spartak Moscow
Akhmat Grozny Team Overview
🟢 The arrival of Stanislav Cherchesov has invigorated the team, instilling a newfound confidence that quickly translated into results. Akhmat went seven rounds unbeaten. However, they are currently experiencing a downturn. They haven't secured a win in six consecutive matches, including the Russian Cup. Notably, their defense has been porous, as evidenced by the four goals conceded against Sochi (2-4). This has halted their progress in the league standings. Nonetheless, the team is holding a relatively high ninth place, considering Cherchesov took over when they were languishing at the bottom of the table.
Last weekend, Akhmat traveled to Kaliningrad, where they faced a fierce reception from Baltika. The visitors conceded in just the ninth minute and struggled to assert control thereafter. Up front, they lacked a cutting edge. The hosts looked more decisive in attack and doubled their lead early in the second half. Akhmat then found themselves a man down following a contentious incident, which prompted the club to appeal to the expert refereeing commission, as well as for a non-awarded penalty against Baltika. Ultimately, the scoreline remained unchanged (0-2).

Spartak Moscow Team Overview
🔴 Spartak currently sit in sixth place on the league table, with a noticeable gap emerging. In the first round, they failed to defeat any of the top five teams, prompting the club to consider a new managerial appointment. However, attracting a high-profile coach is challenging, so the decision regarding Dejan Stanković's future might only be settled in the winter. Over a stretch of four matches, the "Red-Whites" managed to beat only Orenburg (1-0), despite not having a significant advantage in play. Last weekend, Spartak suffered a defeat to Krasnodar (1-2). They trailed by two goals but managed to unsettle their opponents, especially as the "Black-Greens" received two red cards towards the end.
Nevertheless, Spartak did manage to defeat one of the top-5 teams, albeit in the Russian Cup. The playoffs recently commenced, and their quarter-final opponent was Lokomotiv. Stanković's squad opened the scoring as early as the fourth minute. The second half also went well for them, as their lead extended to three goals. However, Lokomotiv reduced the deficit and missed a penalty late on. Still, a two-goal advantage (3-1) might not feel entirely secure heading into the return leg.

Latest news
Akhmat Grozny
🎙️ Stanislav Cherchesov shared his initial remarks to the team following the defeat to Baltika: “The first words were about leaving in 45 minutes. As for the game, we’ll discuss it later; there’s no point right now. You can’t take losses calmly, but we prepared for a certain type of game and that’s exactly what we got. Both we and our opponents had chances, but we conceded two goals from throw-ins and essentially handed them to ourselves. That’s a bit concerning.”
❌ In the match against Baltika, Anas El Mahraoui suffered an injury after coming on as a substitute, spending just 14 minutes on the field. The club has filed an appeal regarding Georgiy Melkadze's red card, but no final decision has been made yet.
Spartak Moscow
🎙️ After the victory over Lokomotiv, Dejan Stankovic admitted he's exhausted by the buzz surrounding his potential departure and the team's results: "I'm very tired of what's happening. Of all the talk around us. I want to go home, to my wife, to my daughter. Everything happening around affects the players, the club staff. The guys and the team don't deserve the negativity surrounding us. I'm prepared for any decision by the club. If they decide to let me go tomorrow, I'm ready. If it happens the day after tomorrow, I'm ready for that too. For now, I'm in Moscow."
❌ In the upcoming match, only Srdjan Babic will be unavailable, having suffered a torn cruciate ligament nearly three weeks ago.
🟨 Prediction for Yellow Cards
This season, Spartak are more prone to receiving yellow cards, averaging 2.3 per game compared to 2. In matches involving Spartak, there is an average of 5.6 cautions. Similarly, Akhmat's matches also see a high average of 5.1. Considering the significance of this match for many involved, it might be wise to consider betting on over 4.5 total yellow cards.
⚽ Prediction for Goals
Akhmat's defense has been under scrutiny, conceding at least two goals in five consecutive matches, including the Russian Cup. Such a pattern hasn't been seen in their head-to-heads for a while. However, Spartak have more reasons to be optimistic about scoring. For instance, they have scored at least twice in 6 of their last 7 away games. Therefore, a bet on over 1.5 goals for the visitors appears quite promising.
🚩 Prediction for Corners
This season, Spartak have the edge in corner kicks, averaging 5.4 compared to 4.4. However, matches involving these teams typically feature fewer than nine corners on average. Their head-to-head encounters also don't see many corners, with a maximum of 10 in 7 out of 8 games in Grozny. The same applies to 10 of Akhmat's last 11 matches this season. Thus, a potential bet could be on under 10.5 total corners.
Editorial Prediction
Spartak are the favorites heading into this matchup, although they haven't beaten Akhmat in a while. Five of their last six head-to-head encounters ended in draws, with four of those games finishing goalless (0-0). Last season, neither side managed to score against the other, leaving them with something to prove this time around. We anticipate that Spartak will break at least two streaks with a victory, possibly with a scoreline of 2-1.
Akhmat have been struggling lately, particularly in defense. While they might pull themselves together for a single game, Spartak seem more likely to come out on top. That's how it played out last season as well, but both games ended in draws. On one hand, Spartak haven't tasted success in recent meetings, yet on the other, Akhmat have only one win in seven years against them. Thus, we recommend a cautious approach by opting for the key bet of a win for the visitors with a handicap (0).
