Akron vs Akhmat Prediction 17 September 2026
🔉 Akron go into matchday 9 of the RPL on an unusual run: they have not lost in normal time in any of their last four matches across all competitions, drawing every single one. The Togliatti side held CSKA (2-2) and Krasnodar (1-1), but a win has continued to elude them. Akhmat are the opposite: just one defeat in their last five matches, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of them, which gives the hosts a chance of their first win of the season.
Head-to-Head
📊 The two sides have only met in the RPL - four matches in total. It has been an evenly balanced head-to-head record. Akron have a win and a draw at home, while Akhmat have the same at home in Grozny. Two of the matches in Samara featured red cards.
Head-to-head statistics Akron - Akhmat
Akron Tolyatti Team Overview
Tolyatti's side are stuck in the play-off zone: 14th place and just five points from eight matches. They are still without a win in the RPL, but three consecutive draws suggest Akron have learned to hold firm and not fall apart after conceding. In the last round they came close to a first win, against Krasnodar, but threw away three points late on due to a goalkeeping error.
Akron's home matches in the RPL have been high-scoring. Five of their last six games in Samara have featured at least three goals, and both teams scored in six of the last ten meetings there. Their defence has not been reliable either - they are conceding more than two goals per game on average.

Akhmat Grozny Team Overview
Grozny side sit ninth with ten points and have been inconsistent. On one hand, a comeback win over Makhachkala's Dynamo (3-2); on the other, a heavy defeat to Moscow's Dynamo in the Cup (0-3). In their last five matches, Akhmat have scored 11 goals but conceded 10, and have not kept a single clean sheet. Cherchesov's side can set the tempo, but don't always sustain it for the full 90 minutes.
Away from home, Akhmat have chronic problems: they have gone 17 matches without a win across all competitions. In four of their last five away league matches, they have drawn. The defence concedes in almost every game, and the attack is less productive on the road than at home. That makes the visitors vulnerable against Akron, who have learned to be patient and not lose.

New signings Milutin Vidosavljević and Artem Shumansky are still settling in, and their availability for the match remains in doubt.
Akhmat Grozny
Akhmat winger Maxim Samorodov has commented on his failed move to Spartak: "I don't regret it one bit. I'm at this club, I'm continuing to work, and I'll do my best to be useful." Meanwhile, football agent Timur Gurtskaya has said that Cherchesor was lucky to keep his job as head coach. The club's management in Grozny were unhappy with the results. The atmosphere at the club is currently far from ideal.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Both sides play with intensity and aggression. In this RPL season, Akron average 3.1 yellow cards per match, while Akhmat average 1.9. Grozny's side frequently foul to disrupt the opposition's rhythm, and the referee is unlikely to let the game pass without bookings, particularly given what is at stake in the table for both teams. Our main selection here is Total Yellow Cards - Over 3.5 at 1.48*.
⚽️ Goals Prediction
At least three goals have been scored in five of Akhmat's last six matches, and they have conceded in seven consecutive games. Akron have not been low-scoring in recent matches either: three of their last five ended with three or more goals. Our prediction for this match is Total Goals - Over 2.5 at 1.83*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Akron make active use of the flanks, averaging 4.4 corners per match in the 2026/2027 RPL, and concede almost as many at their own end - 4.1. Akhmat's average corner total per game stands at 4.5. Based on both teams' statistics, the selection here is Total Corners - Over 8.5 at 1.85*.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Akron have gone four matches in a row without losing in normal time, but the lack of wins is weighing on the team. Akhmat are inconsistent: capable of putting in a strong performance, but also of falling apart, as they did against Dynamo in the Cup. The Grozny side have gone 17 consecutive away matches without a win, and away fixtures remain a problem. In this situation, a draw or a narrow home win looks the most likely outcome. The editorial prediction is Akron to win - Handicap (0). Predicted score: 2-1.
