Akron
In the last round, Zaur Tedeev's charges drew with Dynamo Makhachkala away (1:1). As a result, Akron failed to win their third consecutive championship match (2 draws, 1 loss). However, the team managed to climb to the eighth position in the league table. Note that the Tolyatti side has conceded the most goals in the current RPL season (26 goals).
Goalkeeper Alexander Vasyutin will miss the game due to injury.
- The club has not won in 5 of the last 6 home matches in the Premier League (1 draw, 4 losses).
- At least three goals have been scored in the last five home matches of the team in the RPL.
- Tolyatti conceded at least two goals in 5 of the last 6 home matches in the championship.
Krylia Sovetov
Igor Osinkin's team lost at home to Krasnodar with a score of 1:2 in the last round. As a result, Krylia Sovetov extended their winless streak in the championship to five matches (3 draws, 2 losses). It's worth noting the team's low scoring: with only 12 goals scored in the current RPL season, the Samara side is ahead of only two clubs in this indicator. In the league table, Krylia Sovetov are in tenth place, trailing Akron by one point.
Goalkeeper Sergey Pesyakov, defender Glenn Beil, and midfielder Maxim Vityugov will miss the match due to injuries.
- The team has not won in 7 of the last 8 away matches in the championship (2 draws, 5 losses).
- The club scored exactly one or two times in 8 of the last 11 away matches in the RPL.
- Samara did not concede more than one goal in 8 of the last 10 away matches in the Premier League.
Akron vs Krylia Sovetov: match prediction
Matches involving Akron in their first RPL season tend to be high-scoring: the team usually tries to play actively up front, and their opponents are allowed too much leeway. In 5 of the last 6 Premier League encounters, Akron players have scored, tallying a total of ten goals, but have only managed to keep a clean sheet once in the last five matches.
Krylia Sovetov exhibits a similar style of play. The club does not sit back and prefers to play attacking football: in the last eight league encounters, Samara has scored nine goals. At the same time, the team's defense is not always reliable, and they regularly concede: in nine of the previous RPL matches, Krylia Sovetov only managed to keep a clean sheet twice.
I expect a high-scoring game and an exchange of goals between these opponents. My prediction: "Both Teams to Score – Yes" with odds of 1.70.
