Head-to-head statistics Akhmat - Spartak Moscow
Akhmat Grozny Team Overview
After the winter break, Akhmat have remained unbeaten and have left a positive impression. However, in the RPL, they have only managed to defeat Rubin (2-1) despite creating numerous chances. The team has also advanced in the Russian Cup by knocking out Krasnodar (2-1), who chose to focus on the league. Akhmat have drawn twice, despite having excellent opportunities to secure wins.

Spartak Moscow Team Overview
Spartak joined the title race just before the winter break. They could have been leading if they had defeated Rubin in the 20th round. However, in Kazan, they faced a tough reception and lost 1-2. Duarte, who had shown significant improvement under Stankovic, received a red card. In the match against Zenit, Litvinov replaced him and held his own as the young defender didn't disappoint. Spartak managed to beat the reigning champions thanks to a brace by Martins (2-1). Nevertheless, debates over the second goal have been ongoing for two weeks due to a possible offside. In that match, Ryabchuk received another yellow card, which means he will be suspended and miss the game in Grozny. Additionally, Bongonda picked up an injury while on international duty, making his appearance in the 22nd round unlikely.

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for this match is Vasily Kazartsev, who has officiated six Premier League games this season. However, he is frequently seen in the VAR room. This season, Kazartsev has awarded only one penalty, during the Khimki vs Spartak match. On average, he shows 4.33 yellow cards per game. However, this statistic is heavily influenced by the Khimki vs CSKA match, which had no bookings at all.
This season, Akhmat have slightly more yellow cards (2.4 compared to 2.3). On average, matches involving these teams see around five bookings. In Kazartsev's last four games, he has handed out at least five yellow cards, and their previous head-to-head encounter saw a total of seven. Therefore, it might be wise to consider betting on over 4.5 total yellow cards.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Akhmat have looked much stronger after the winter break. Even before that, they were consistently finding the net, even when not picking up points. The team has scored in nine consecutive matches. And now they face Spartak, one of their biggest rivals. Additionally, Akhmat have players for whom this match against their former club will be particularly significant. Therefore, a goal from the hosts seems likely.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Spartak have the edge in corners this season (5.6 compared to 5.2). Meanwhile, Akhmat have taken at least five corners in 7 of their last 8 matches. This trend is expected to continue in a home game where the fans will be urging them forward. Thus, betting on Akhmat over 4.5 total corners could prove to be quite profitable.
Editorial Prediction
Spartak are the favorites for the upcoming clash, but Akhmat have been a tricky opponent for them recently. The Moscow side have failed to secure a win in their last five head-to-head meetings. The Grozny team are in excellent form, so a slip-up from Spartak wouldn't be a shocker. Given the circumstances, we suggest a potential scoreline of 1-1.
Expect plenty of physical play in this matchup, not always within the rules. The game could spiral out of the referee's control at some point, as has happened before. Therefore, a flurry of yellow cards and even a sending-off is quite possible, which has been common in Spartak's matches this season. Our main betting suggestion is total yellow cards over 4.5.
