Akron vs Spartak Moscow Prediction 19 April 2025
🔊 Can Artem Dzyuba find the back of the net against Spartak, the club where he came through the ranks? The Akron striker is in fine form, but his goal-scoring depends heavily on his teammates. The "Red-Whites" are seen as favorites, especially motivated after their slip-up in the last round of the Russian Premier League. In this context, the favorite for the match at Samara Arena seems clear. However, let's not jump to conclusions, as Spartak have struggled on the road, at least during this spring part of the season. Therefore, we will consider various options to make a well-founded prediction.

Head-to-head statistics Akron - Spartak Moscow

Akron Tolyatti Team Overview
🔴 Before the last round, Akron had only one victory in five RPL matches, suffering four defeats. The team found themselves close to the relegation playoff zone, which undoubtedly put pressure on the players. Perhaps as a result, they struggled with finishing in the match against Fakel (1-0). The only goal came from a penalty scored by Artem Dzyuba. Nevertheless, Akron's dominance was overwhelming. It's worth noting that the ball hit the woodwork three times. These three points helped them secure ninth place in the standings, easing any relegation fears.
🔝 Artem Dzyuba scored his 237th career goal, setting a new personal record. The striker admitted he anticipated a penalty in the match against Fakel: “I knew Gudiev is very good at saving penalties. Before the game, I had a feeling there would be a penalty awarded. I watched clips of how he saves them. I'm glad I managed to score and earn these crucial three points. We should have settled it earlier. It was nerve-wracking - when you don't score, you usually get punished.”
✅ Ahead of the match against Krasnodar, a large group of players were ill, but now everyone is fit. There are no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

Spartak Moscow Team Overview
⚪ Spartak have been on a near-record winning streak this season. However, they've recently dropped several points, which is why they aren't considered favorites in the title race, currently sitting in third place. They trail the leaders by five points, a gap that can still be closed. Their deficit could have been smaller if not for their recent 2-1 loss to Dynamo Makhachkala. The "Red-Whites" were unprepared for the level of competition their opponents brought. They struggled in the first half but managed to change the course of the match after the break. Jesus Medina had the chance to secure a draw but failed to convert a penalty. Notably, Spartak bounced back in the Russian Cup, thrashing Ural 3-0, with all three goals scored in the first half.
📣 Defender Srdjan Babic, whom Spartak plans to extend a contract with this summer, commented on the defeat to Dynamo Makhachkala: “We must take responsibility for the first half - it's something to be ashamed of. We completely failed to follow our game plan. I believe that if we want to win the championship, we must always be motivated, regardless of whether we're facing Akhmat or Makhachkala.”
❌ In the upcoming match, only Daniil Denisov will be absent. He was one of the antiheroes in the game against Dynamo Makhachkala, having scored an own goal. The defender is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
