LiontipsRotor vs Akhmat. Prediction and Betting Tips for Russian Premier League (May 1, 2021).
Command Analysis
Rotor are having a terrible season - Khasanbi Bidzhiev's team is coming to the start of the 28th round in the second-last place in the standings. The Volgograd club is two points away from the zone of transitional matches, which leaves them a chance to avoid relegation.
The start of the second half of the season was marked for Rotor by two successful performances against Tambov (3:1) and Khimki (0:0), in which they scored four points, but later they failed to develop the non-losing streak. The crushing 0:6 defeat from Zenit in the last round was already sixth in a row.
Akhmat are having a solid season in general, and they have achieved their main task for the season. Andrey Talalaev's team is in 11th place in the table, where Akhmat feel quite comfortable, 13 points away from the transitional matches zone - there is no way they can lose such a handicap.
In the last round, Akhmat scored a 1:1 draw with Ural. They haven't lost two games in a row.

Tip and bets
Rotor are in a critical position, but at the same time they still have chances of keeping their residence in the Premier League: a victory today could bring the club to the zone of transitional matches. Obviously, the hosts have nothing to lose will take risks. Akhmat no longer have anything to fight for and may well allow Rotor to get three points. We believe the hosts have a better chance of winning.
Prediction - Asian handicap (0) to Rotor.
Despite the fact that the hosts desperately need a victory, they probably won't play open football from the starting minutes of the game. Akhmat are not an attacking team either, so one can hardly count on a high-scoring game.
Our second bet will be on total under 2.5 goals.
