Head-to-head statistics Akron - Akhmat

Akron Tolyatti Team Overview
The winter break did little to help Akron improve their declining results at the end of last year. After the league resumed, Zaur Tedeev's squad suffered defeats in two consecutive RPL rounds, extending their losing streak to four matches. As a result, Akron have dropped out of the top eight and slipped to 11th place, with their cushion above the relegation playoff zone shrinking to just three points.
In their last RPL outing, Akron faced Spartak away. As expected, Akron played defensively, managing only 35% possession. The hosts nearly doubled the visitors in expected goals (2.23 to 1.32) and deservedly took all three points with a 4-3 victory. Despite scoring multiple goals, one of Togliatti's goals came from a penalty.

Akhmat Grozny Team Overview
Stanislav Cherchesov's Akhmat are showing no signs of slowing down. Heading into the winter break, the Grozny side went on a two-game winning streak in the league, and as the second half of the season commenced, they extended this to four matches unbeaten. Their only slip-up came in Moscow against Lokomotiv (2-2), though that result can hardly be seen as a setback, considering the "Railwaymen" are in the top three of the RPL.
Looking more closely at their away game against Loko, it becomes clear that Stanislav Cherchesov once again demonstrated his strength against Moscow clubs. In the 19th round, Akhmat even managed to defeat CSKA (1-0). Against Lokomotiv, the Grozny team played with less restraint, securing 41% possession and taking six shots with an xG of 0.37. The draw was likely influenced by how effectively the visitors contained the hosts, who created only slightly more opportunities-10 shots with an xG of 0.98.

Akron Tolyatti
🎙 Akron's founder Pavel Morozov commented on the defeat against Spartak: "Certainly, our team's level might still be below that of Spartak. However, overall, the guys put in a tremendous effort and showed great commitment. It's disappointing that we're not picking up points - it's frustrating."
❌ In the last round, Akron lost two players to injuries. The biggest blow is the absence of midfielder Maksim Boldyrev, who scored a brace against Spartak. Defender Yomar Rene Rocha Rodriguez is also sidelined.
Akhmat Grozny
🎙 Akhmat midfielder Georgy Melkadze has likened Stanislav Cherchesov to Carlo Ancelotti. "I would say Cherchesov is the Ossetian Ancelotti. Everyone enjoys working with Stanislav Salamovich. He knows what he wants, and everyone understands his demands," Melkadze stated.
❌ It's not just the coaching staff at Akhmat that are doing an outstanding job; the medical team is also excelling. The club hasn't suffered any injuries during the winter training camp or since the league resumed.
🟨 Prediction on Yellow Cards
The main referee for the match is Yevgeny Bulanov, who averages 4.6 yellow cards in his last 20 RPL games. Under Stanislav Cherchesov, Akhmat have shown disciplined defense without resorting to rough play. This is evident from their away game stats in the championship, where they received no more than one yellow card in 7 out of 8 matches. Therefore, our recommendation is to bet on Akhmat's total yellow cards under 1.5.
⚽️ Prediction on Goals
We've previously noted Akhmat's organized defense, but a deeper dive into the stats reveals that they rarely keep a clean sheet on the road, conceding in 15 consecutive RPL matches. As for Akron, their defensive struggles are clear, often engaging in goal exchanges at the "Solidarnost Arena," which happened in 13 of their last 14 matches. Given these factors, there's a high likelihood for the bet on both teams to score (yes) to succeed.
🚩 Prediction on Corners
Akhmat often play defensively away from home, even against less formidable teams. Consequently, after counterattacks, they struggle to establish play on the opponent's half and create chances, even from set-pieces. The corner statistics are telling, with Akhmat averaging no more than five corners in 10 of their last 11 away games. Our prediction: Akhmat's total corners under 5.5.
Editor's Prediction
Akhmat are on a solid run, enjoying a four-match unbeaten streak in the league. They've kicked off the second half of the season with a bang, having faced two top-4 Moscow clubs in the RPL and coming out strong. On the flip side, Akron are enduring a contrasting four-game losing streak and have struggled significantly at home, securing just one win in nine matches. Given these circumstances, backing an Akhmat win with a (0) handicap seems logical. We believe a 2-1 victory for the visitors should suffice for this bet to come through.
