Command Analysis

Akron Togliatti

Current form
Akron was approaching the start of the season as one of the main candidates for relegation from the Premier League - Tolyatti was inferior to many competitors in terms of player selection. At the same time, from the very first rounds, Zaur Tadeev's team showed bold attacking football, which, moreover, brought regular results – they quickly managed to break away from the danger zone and not get bogged down at the bottom of the table. At the moment, Akron is in ninth place in the table with 25 points and is already seven points ahead of the transition zone, which is a handicap that will allow us to be optimistic about the future.

Spartak Moscow

Current form
Spartak was approaching the start of the season as a clear contender for the championship title – in the summer they managed to strengthen the already quite high-quality squad and were quite capable of setting maximum goals. Dejan Stankovic's team made several mistakes at the start, but gradually got in shape and, before the winter break, produced a very powerful winning streak, thanks to which they broke into the championship race. The 1-2 defeat by Rubin in the last round seriously hurt Spartak's championship ambitions, the red and white are still third in the table, but only three points behind Zenit and Krasnodar.

1.49Tip and bets
Spartak is the undisputed favorite of the match and will certainly be determined to win today and will strive to solve everything in regular time – for sure, from the very first minutes, the pressure on the Akron goal will be enormous. It will be almost impossible for the hosts to win back to zero, but at the same time, the red-whites will have to play Zenit in the championship in a few days, the duel is extremely important in the context of the title fight, and the guests cannot avoid rotation. Akron plays openly and effectively, Tolyatti players are quite capable of responding with their ball.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.79
Betting on the outcome
Spartak will not play with the strongest squad today, there is a match against Zenit ahead, and of course priority will be given to the upcoming championship match. However, at the same time, the red and white have a very powerful reserve, perhaps the widest and highest-quality in the Premier League, and the guests are quite capable of assembling a combat-ready squad. It makes sense in such a situation to give preference to the favorite, Spartak is a rival of a completely different level than Akron, and is quite capable of obtaining a landslide victory even without several key players.
The bet is an Asian handicap (-1) on Spartak. This bet is offered for 1.99
Betting on corners
Spartak is the favorite and will surely play number one – the guests should win confidently on the corners.
The bet is an Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Spartak. This bet is offered for 1.61
