Akhmat Grozny - Lokomotiv Moskva predictions

Beating Lokomotiv Moskva will not be easy, but we believe Akhmat Grozny are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Akhmat Grozny on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

Akhmat Grozny are coming off from a narrow 2:1 away defeat in the previous round. The home-field disadvantage and a very difficult match-up against Rubin Kazan' ensured that they spent most of the game trailing behind.

Lokomotiv Moskva were off to a bad start in their previous Premier League outing. Although they were the home team, they were behind on half-time against a relatively stronger opponent - Krasnodar. Lokomotiv Moskva managed to scrape together a 1:1 draw before the end, which isn’t bad all things considered.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Lokomotiv Moskva once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

Sunday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

Going for a Home Win is already a fairly safe bet but we’d like to shore it up even further. The highest-value way of achieving this is through a Draw No Bet wager, which shortens the odds to 1.60 but is well worth the price.
