Akron - Zenit predictions

Upsets do happen in football and it’s fair to say a home win here would be a definition of the case. Akron can count themselves lucky if they avoid getting completely destroyed by Zenit in this match.

Zenit seem to be on their way to another easy victory and 3 more points to the tally. Priced at 1.41, the odds favour them heavily, so any outcome other than an away win is not exactly a safe choice.

The last time we saw Akron play at home, they let a big opportunity slip right through their fingers. They had strong chances of winning and were leading at halftime, but their opponents Olimpiyets equalised in the second half and recorded a 2:2 draw.

Zenit were expected to have an easy home game against Orenburg last time out. As hosts for this Premier League clash, Zenit were highly favoured to record an HT/FT victory and with a significant margin too. However, the match was level at the halftime mark and ended in a narrow 1:0 victory.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Due to the absence of injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their complete lineups available for an exciting match.

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
