Akhmat Grozny
The visitors were 2:0 up away to Lokomotiv Moscow last round, but ultimately had to settle for a 2:2 draw.

Akron Togliatti vs Akhmat Grozny: Match Prediction
The Togliatti side played their last three league matches away from home and failed to pick up a single point. The team also have a bitter taste after their previous home outing, in which Zaur Tedeyev’s men lost to Pari Nizhniy Novgorod. We think the players will be desperate to end this poor run. At home, Akron Togliatti can cause problems for any opponent’s defence. In this league campaign, the club have scored in eight of their nine matches on home soil, with only the flawless Baltika keeping them out. At the same time, the Togliatti side are the only club without a single home clean sheet.
Akhmat Grozny, for their part, have not kept a clean sheet away from home even once so far, and in four of their last five away games in the Russian Premier League the team conceded at least twice. However, it is worth noting that Stanislav Cherchesov’s men managed to score against two top-four sides in the last two rounds, and the Grozny club’s scoring run in the league now stands at four matches. We expect the club to get on the scoresheet again in the upcoming game, but it looks unlikely that they will register their first away clean sheet.
Prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
