Akhmat Grozny - Baltika predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.12, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

It would be a minor miracle for Baltika to win at Akhmat Grozny, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 3.98 price on most online sportsbooks.

Akhmat Grozny displayed some worrying facts about their form in their previous home game against Lokomotiv Moskva . While no-one expected them to win outright due to a slightly unfavourable match-up, they struggled to keep up throughout the game and ended up losing 0:2.

Baltika are coming off of a 1:0 loss to Zenit in their previous away game. They were clearly marked as the hard underdogs from the get-go, however, and many tipsters are in fact surprised that the goal difference wasn’t larger.

Akhmat Grozny’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Premier League matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

The past two times Baltika played as visitors, the audience was treated to a rather dull affair. Both matches featured one goal at best and this is something to consider ahead of the Saturday clash.

The last time we saw these two squads play against each other was earlier in this Premier League season. Akhmat Grozny narrowly lost. With the home-field advantage on their side this time, however, most bookies see them as the favourites.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.65. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
