Head-to-head statistics FC Dynamo-Makhachkala - Akron

Akron have nearly stopped losing altogether.
Makhachkala's side sit sixth in the table with 12 points and a goal difference of 15:20. The position looks decent, but it is misleading. Six of those 12 points came in the first two rounds, with the remaining six gathered across the following eight. On top of that, they are only two points ahead of Lokomotiv, who occupy the play-off zone. The table is tight, and a single defeat could be enough to drop them to the bottom.
Before Vadim Yevseyev's arrival, Dynamo were a fairly dull side. One or two goals was the ceiling in most matches. This season the picture is different. The average number of goals per game is 3.5 - the highest figure in the league - and that is largely down to defensive problems. Twenty goals conceded is the second-worst return in the RPL. Against that backdrop, the club are still searching for a first-choice goalkeeper. David Volk, Nikita Karabashev and Timur Magomedov have each failed to convince the manager that he should be the one to get the nod.

Akron Tolyatti Team Overview
Akron began their RPL campaign with two defeats, but those came against Zenit and Rubin. A further run of winless games followed, and it seemed the Tolyatti side were destined for relegation, with Srđan Blagojević set to become the first manager sacked of the season. Despite a modest points tally in the RPL, the team first performed well against Lokomotiv and CSKA in the Cup, then took points off Krasnodar in the RPL and finally claimed their first league win of the season. The club are currently in the play-off zone in the table, but the standings are tight and there is room to improve their position considerably before the winter break.
The improved results have been helped by the medical staff's work. The treatment room has cleared, and Akron can now rotate their squad between the Cup and the RPL. Gilson Benchimol, Dudu Rodrigues and Roberto Fernández did not feature in the Cup match against Lokomotiv. All three are expected to start against Dinamo Makhachkala.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Dynamo are close to the top five, but looking at the facts rather than the table position, the situation is considerably more complicated. In the RPL, Vadim Yevseyev's side have lost 5 of their last 6 matches. Their defensive play and the lack of a strong goalkeeper have been real problems for the Makhachkala club. Akron, meanwhile, are playing more consistently, even if they have only one win in the league. Their frequent draws are helping them edge closer to climbing out of the play-off zone. Taking all three points in Makhachkala will be difficult, but the visitors won't give the game up without a fight. The main bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 1-1.
