Current Form

Notably, they began with a commanding 8-1 victory against Kolomna, which sparked rumors regarding the integrity of the match. However, in the next round, they solidified their reputation with a strong 2-0 win over Veles, clearly indicating that they should not be underestimated. In the third round, Amkal secured a 2-1 away victory against Cosmos. This marks the team’s third appearance in the Russian Cup, achieving their best results to date.

FC Alania Vladikavkaz

In the First League standings, Vladikavkaz currently sits in 16th place in the relegation zone with 10 points. They are in the midst of a seven-match winless streak.

Tip and bets

TipAmkal with a handicap of +1

1.61

Alania is having a challenging season and is increasingly focused on its precarious position in the First League. The arrival of Spartak Gogniyev didn’t immediately change the team's fortunes. Amkal has repeatedly shown in the Cup that underestimating the Media League squad is a mistake, and they are more than capable of putting up a fight on their home turf.

Our prediction is a victory for Amkal with an Asian handicap of (+1) at odds of 1.61.
