Krasnodar - Akhmat Grozny predictions

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.64, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

The current perspective makes the situation crystal clear. Given the superiority of Krasnodar and the 5.19 odds given to Akhmat Grozny to win, it is evident that anything but a home win would be an incredible shock.

Krasnodar didn’t exactly shine in the previous round when they played at Rostov . The whole match was a rather uneventful affair, and both teams went home with a single point after a 0:0 stalemate.

Akhmat Grozny are here on the back of a noted triumph against Akron. They maintained an impressive lead throughout the match, which lead to a comfortable 3:0 home victory.

Considering their recent record, we can expect the home team to score highly in this match. They recorded 5 goals over their latest 3 away games, so we can expect a solid performance when they have home-field advantage.

This match might present a rare opportunity to go for an Over 4.5 Goals bet. Akhmat Grozny have netted 6 goals in each of their previous 3 games – which is quite a track record.

The 1.64 betting odds for a home win paint the hosts as the favourites in this matchup, and the head-to-head stats agree. For example, the two teams clashed last season, and Krasnodar won with a considerable goal advantage.

Saturday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

Our prediction would be a fairly safe Home Win bet at the odds of 1.64. It’s obvious the hosts have a clear advantage going into this clash, and there’s plenty of reasons to feel confident in their success.
