Baltika - Akhmat Grozny predictions

Baltika will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Akhmat Grozny don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 2.61 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

The visitors understand the difficulty of the task at hand. To beat Baltika on their own turf would be a major feat, and it is always a tough challenge.

An expected stalemate was all Baltika were able to take away from their trip to Olimpiyets in the last round of the Premier League. They struggled to break through in the first half and ended up settling for a point against all odds.

Last round must have been uncomfortable for Akhmat Grozny’s players. All the cards seemed to be stacked in their favour – a home-field advantage against Sochi who were widely considered the weaker team going in. The final result was a shocking 2:4 defeat, however, as Akhmat Grozny never managed to take control of the pitch.

With a grand total of 0 concessions over their last three Premier League games, Baltika’s defensive line feels like a brick wall. Therefore, To Win to Nil seems like a reasonable choice in this game.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Premier League outings.

Though a Home Win seems like a sure bet here, we would advise securing it additionally with a Draw No Bet. Baltika have been known to lack consistency at times, so removing the possibility of a draw is well worth reducing the odds to 1.
