CSKA Moskva - Akhmat Grozny predictions

It’s easy to point out CSKA Moskva as the clear favourites, but we wouldn’t call this match completely one-sided. The hosts are definitely more likely to win between the two, but a tie game is another possibility. An away win would be quite a surprise, but we’ve seen bigger upsets.

Considering what they’re up against, Akhmat Grozny can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 5.68 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

Best betting sites had backed CSKA Moskva to emerge victorious from their trip to Orenburg with 1.58 but a few people expected the 0:0 result. CSKA Moskva failed to live up to expectations and simply could not break through.

Although Akhmat Grozny had the advantage of playing at home in the previous round, the game could have gone either way if top online bookmakers are to be believed. Rather than a close showdown, however, the game ended up being a complete rout for them. They fell behind early and eventually lost 0:2.

Looking back at the head-to-head history of this matchup, it’s understandable why most bookmakers online decided to price a home win at 1.60. They soundly defeated Akhmat Grozny last season, and it’s reasonable to expect another triumph.

This Sunday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Pncl priced at 1.9 odds.
