Krylia Sovetov vs. Akhmat: Match Prediction
Recently, Krylia Sovetov has not been impressive in terms of scoring, even at home, rarely delighting fans with a high number of goals. In 9 of their last 11 home league matches, Krylia Sovetov has not scored more than once, and in five instances during this stretch, they failed to score at all.
Akhmat has also struggled creatively, especially in away games; in 6 of their last 8 away Premier League matches, they failed to score. However, in 12 of their last 14 away league encounters, they have allowed their opponents to score no more than two goals.
I do not expect many goals in this match, so my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
