Akron vs Akhmat Prediction 11 May 2025
🔊 Can Akhmat escape the relegation playoff zone after the 28th round of the Russian Premier League? At the moment, they are at least on par with Akron, if not better in some aspects. This is why the visitors are considered favorites, driven by greater motivation. However, Tolyatti's side shouldn't be underestimated, especially with Artem Dzyuba in their ranks. We'll explore various scenarios to make a well-founded prediction. It's worth noting that the match will take place at the "Samara Arena".
Head-to-Head
📊 The only head-to-head encounter between the teams took place in the first round of the current competition. In Grozny, the sides played out a goalless draw (0-0). It's tough to say who came closer to victory. Suffice it to mention that the teams combined for just two shots on target, both credited to Akhmat. However, Akron had twice as many corner kicks.

Akron Tolyatti Team Overview
🔴 Akron began the spring segment of the championship on a weak note, suffering multiple losses and nearly getting dragged into the relegation battle. However, recently they've found their rhythm and started consistently collecting points, which has allowed them to secure ninth place in the standings. A pleasant bonus for Akron is their two-point lead over Krylia Sovetov.
🔗 In the last round, the Tolyatti side hosted Dynamo Makhachkala. They dominated the first half but failed to score. After the break, the game evened out, making the presence of a forward like Artem Dzyuba crucial. In the 75th minute, he outmuscled his opponent and secured victory for his team, earning himself the title of man of the match.

Latest news
Akron Tolyatti
📣 Artem Dzyuba has achieved all his goals for this season: "It's satisfying to have met all the targets I set for myself. But most importantly, we won, as this game was crucial from a tournament standpoint. With the victory over Dinamo, we've secured a 99% chance of staying in the Premier League next season. Now we can play freely and enjoy the game without any stress. I've accomplished everything I aimed for on a larger scale."
📝 Dzyuba's contract is set to expire this summer. The forward confirmed that staying with Akron is his top priority.
❌ All Akron players are healthy. However, Konstantin Savichev will not play due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Akhmat Grozny
📣 Akhmat's head coach Sergey Tashuev believes the draw against CSKA was fair: “I think the result was justified. Initially, we struggled with their diamond formation, but then we adjusted. The match was intriguing, like a chess game, where we tried to outmaneuver them with our strategies, and they did the same. A fitting endgame. We earned a point, and now we need to keep collecting more.”
❌ In preparation for the match against CSKA, Nader Ghandri picked up an injury and will miss the rest of the season. Additionally, Anton Shvets remains on the injured list.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for this encounter is Ivan Abrosimov, who has officiated nine matches in the Russian Premier League this season. Notably, he has already overseen two games involving Akhmat, issuing a total of 14 yellow cards. This aligns with his season average of 3.75 cards per match.
Akhmat hold the edge in yellow cards this season (2.3 compared to 2). However, their opponents tend to receive more warnings (2.7), while Akron's opponents receive fewer (1.3). In their last four RPL matches, Akhmat have trailed in this metric. Therefore, a bet on Akron not losing in yellow cards seems quite reasonable.
⚽️ Goal Predictions
Sergey Tashuev has frequently lamented his team's finishing issues. Indeed, Akhmat consistently create chances but struggle to convert them into goals. As a result, in 8 out of 9 away games, they have scored no more than one goal. Thus, considering a bet on Akhmat's total goals under 1.5 appears prudent.
🚩 Corner Predictions
Both teams enter this match with a trend of low corner counts. In 7 of Akron's last 8 matches, there have been fewer than 10 corners. The same applies to 8 of Akhmat's last 9 away games in the RPL. Therefore, betting on total corners under 10.5 seems sensible.
Editorial Prediction
This match doesn't have a clear favorite, though bookmakers seem to slightly favor Akhmat, which is somewhat surprising. The Grozny side have stumbled after a successful run and haven't won in their last four games. It's worth noting that their opponents were tough, but still, betting on Akron not to lose seems intriguing. Akhmat have failed to win in 13 of their last 14 away matches in the Russian Premier League-a very compelling trend.
