Akron vs Spartak Moscow Prediction 12 March 2025
🔊 Which team will exit the Russian Cup at the ⅛ finals stage of the Regions Path? Bookmakers' prediction places Akron as the underdog. They are outclassed by Spartak, but the club made a name for itself in the cup previously. Additionally, Tolyatti's lineup includes Artem Dzyuba, for whom matches against the "red-whites" are always of significant importance. Note that the match will take place at the "Samara Arena".
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head history includes two matches. In the 2022-2023 season, when Akron played in the FNL, Spartak sensationally exited the Russian Cup, losing in Zhigulyovsk (1:2). Last November, they partly took revenge by defeating the Volga team in Moscow in the RPL (4:0). On that occasion, Bongonda and Ugalde each scored a brace.
Head-to-head statistics Akron - Spartak Moscow
Akron Tolyatti Team Overview
In the group stage of the Russian Cup, Akron finished in third place. Zenit was out of reach, although in one of the matches, Tedeev's team defeated them in a penalty shootout. However, this was not enough to surpass Rubin, who was ahead by just one point. Akron has already managed to overcome one of the rounds of the Regions Path, knocking out Shinnik with a rather mediocre game (1:0). The victory was secured by an own goal in the first minute. This season, the team made its debut in the Premier League and immediately established itself in the middle of the standings. In the first round after the championship resumed, they lost to Pari NN (1:2), but last weekend they defeated Krylia Sovetov in the second Samara region derby (2:0). One of the goals was scored by Artyom Dzyuba, who became the top scorer in the history of Russian football. It should be noted that Saltmurad Bakaev will not play in the upcoming match, as he sustained an injury back in December.
Match Results: Akron Tolyatti
Spartak Moscow Team Overview
Spartak won their group in the Russian Cup, earning 15 points. They significantly outperformed all their opponents, including Dynamo Moscow. In the RPL Path playoffs, their opponent was Rostov. Stankovic chose to use rotation, especially in the second leg. As a result, the "red-whites" unexpectedly lost both matches (0:1, 1:2), dropping to the Regions Path. Alongside their cup failures, Spartak formed a winning streak in the Premier League. The seventh victory came in the first round after the season resumed. However, they struggled to defeat Orenburg (2:0). However, they failed to set a new club record as the team lost to Rubin in Kazan (1:2) beforehand. This defeat could be costly for the club, which allowed Krasnodar and Zenit to gain a three-point lead. It should be noted that Nail Umyarov will not play in the upcoming match due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

⚽ Goal Prediction
Spartak is particularly dangerous for Akron in the second half. During this period, they have scored in 6 out of their last 7 away matches, as well as in four away games in the Russian Cup. In the last head-to-head meeting, the "red and whites" scored three times after the break. Therefore, we suggest a bet on Spartak to score in the 2nd half.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In the Russian Cup, Spartak has an advantage in corners (5.8 against 4.3). In the last head-to-head meeting, they had a significant advantage not only in goals but also in corners (7:2). Therefore, it is worth considering a win for the visitors in corners.
Editorial Prediction
The favorite for the upcoming match is Spartak. They are in good form, although they lost to Rubin a few days ago. The score of that match does not reflect the content of the game at all. In the fall, Stankovic's team outplayed Akron in every aspect, barely letting them out of their half. Something similar is unlikely to be expected in Samara. Nevertheless, we give preference to Spartak and propose a potential exact score of 1:2.
Matches involving Akron are among the most high-scoring in the Premier League. In this regard, they are only behind Lokomotiv and Dynamo Moscow. Meanwhile, Spartak is one of the leaders in terms of goals scored. Moreover, they are motivated to redeem themselves in the Russian Cup for the defeat against Rubin last weekend. Therefore, as a key bet, we suggest total goals over 2.5.
