Rubin Kazan' - Akron predictions

The home team is the obvious choice for anyone looking to bet on favourites. The match is not completely one-sided, though, which is why you may actually get worthwhile returns.

The away team’s chances of winning this Friday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Rubin Kazan', and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

Rubin Kazan'’s latest Premier League outing against Krasnodar ended in a 1:1 draw – which isn’t really too bad for them. Even if they were the home team, they were still up against overwhelming odds. Specifically, most online sportsbooks priced a home win at 4.43.

The away team are here on the back of a painful 4:0 loss at Spartak Moskva, but it’s hard to blame them too much. After all, they were facing both insurmountably long odds and a home-field disadvantage, so not many believed they ever had a real shot.

Akron may need more consistency in their defense if they want to get anywhere. They have more than 5 conceded goals over their 3 most recent home games, for instance.

The two teams already met this season in the Premier League, with Rubin Kazan' taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

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 1.83 odds.
