Akron - Sochi predictions

Though Akron are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

It’s highly unlikely that Sochi will manage to get some points this round. Akron are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

In a major upset at Dinamo Moskva , Akron went home with a solid away victory (1:2) in the last round. The top online bookmakers priced their victory at 7.78. As such, the final 1:2 caught everyone by surprise, especially after the lukewarm first half.

Sochi quickly fell behind in their previous Premier League outing and ended up losing the match 0:1. A victory on their end would have been highly surprising considering the 2.22 betting odds with top online bookmakers, though, so the one-goal difference at the end was not as bad as it might seem.

Not a lot of excitement at these past few games. All 3 of them ended in a stalemate for Akron.

Sochi may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

Akron played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Friday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.85 at Pncl.
