PFK Krylia Sovetov Samara Team Overview
For Krylia Sovetov, the season is proving to be difficult. The team has gameplay issues, but they are not the main concern right now. An investigation regarding the club is underway, and there have even been searches involving football agents. Despite this, Osinkin has prepared his squad well for the remainder of the championship. At the very least, they nearly defeated Krasnodar away (1:1), having at least three scoring chances. Oleynikov converted one of them, putting the Volga team ahead. However, they couldn't extend their lead. The departure of Garre and the loan of Zinkovskiy have positively impacted the team. The signing of Gagnidze indicates that the club intends to remain in the Premier League, despite various rumors. It should be noted that Lomaev will not play in the upcoming match, but Pesyakov has been a great replacement in goal. Vityugov is out for an extended period as he recovers from a cruciate ligament injury.

FK Akron Tolyatti Team Overview
Akron made a swift entry into the Premier League and even secured a spot in the middle of the standings. Much of this success is thanks to Dzyuba, who remains in demand in the RPL despite his age. However, he might leave the club this summer to continue his career in Kazakhstan. Therefore, he needs to score at least once to become the RPL's record holder. The main thing is that personal goals do not conflict with team objectives. In the last round, the forward scored and even received the highest rating among all the players on the field. Nevertheless, Akron lost to Pari NN (1:2), which proved to be more productive in attack. Jakovac and Nedelcharu made their debut match for the new team and showed decent class. It should be noted that in the upcoming match, Bakaev will not play due to injury, but the rest of the players are fit.

In the last derby, the opponents received a total of three yellow cards. Therefore, it is worth considering a bet on total yellow cards under 4.5.
⚽️ Prediction on Goals
Matches involving Krylia Sovetov in the championship are relatively high-scoring. At least three goals were scored in five of their home matches. There could have been three goals in the head-to-head meeting of the first round if Sergeev had converted a penalty. Therefore, as a potential bet, we note total goals over 2.5.
🚩 Prediction on Corners
Krylia Sovetov has an advantage in corners this season (4.5 compared to 4.2). Meanwhile, matches involving them average 9.3 corners. In the head-to-head meeting of the first round, the opponents limited themselves to seven corner kicks. From this, the bet emerges - total corners under 10.5.
Editorial Prediction
In the head-to-head of the first round, there was essentially only one team on the field. Since then, Krylia Sovetov have improved, judging by their friendly matches and the game of the last round. Therefore, a revenge is expected from them, for example, with a score of 2:1.
First and foremost, goals are expected from the nominal hosts. The partnership between Zinkovsky and Sergeev should work well. On the other hand, Akron will definitely not just be making up the numbers on the field, so they will have their chances too. In such a situation, we suggest going with the option - both teams to score (Yes). Especially since this outcome occurred in 8 of the last 9 matches of Krylia Sovetov.
