Akron Tolyatti vs FK Akhmat Grozny Best odds and tips

Akron Tolyatti and FK Akhmat Grozny are two of the Premier League’s less glamorous sides and their meeting on Sunday is likely to be a cagey affair. Akhmat are in 13th place in the table with only 24 points from their 27 fixtures, keeping them just above the relegation zone, while Akron sit a little safer in ninth with 32 points. The two teams drew 0-0 in their meeting eight months ago and this looks another candidate for the ‘unders’.

Zaur Tedeyev has done a good job since taking over as Akron coach in December 2023, organising his side to be disciplined and compact while trusting the instincts of big striker Artem Dzyuba to get them the goals. His side have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five, and the win came in a crucial 1-0 home victory over Dynamo Makhachkala. Akron average 1.38 goals per game at home, having scored 18 in total, which makes them a threat on their own patch. But with Dzyuba in form, they could be a threat to anyone in the league.

Sergei Tashuyev has been at the helm at FK Akhmat Grozny since September 2024 and has experimented tactically, but results have been hard to come by on his watch. His side play a more flexible system, pressing in midfield and trying to play a higher-tempo game, but they struggle for bite in attack and solidity on the road in the Premier League. FK Akhmat Grozny scores only 0.69 goals per game away from home and concedes 1.54, while they have won only one of their 13 away games in the league, drawing five and losing seven. Maxim Samorodov is the playmaker that FK Akhmat Grozny rely on for goals with five in 21 Premier League appearances, but he has supplied two of his side’s last five goals and looks a good bet to score anytime in this tough away fixture.
