Current form
Before the start of the season, it seemed that Krasnodar had become much weaker, because the captain of the team, Eduard Spertsyan, left the club, and the main forward, John Cordoba, was injured during the World Cup. Nevertheless, the hosts managed to cope with the difficulties and continue to demonstrate high performance. In the off-season, they managed to acquire Brazilian Christian, who scored in the first round and helped them win a strong-willed away victory over Rubin Kazan (3:1).
In the next match, Murad Musayev's team was able to beat Fakel at home with a score of 3:2. The bulls clearly expected a more confident victory, but in the end they conceded two goals and made their fans nervous. The real test was the trip to Moscow for Spartak, but even here the vice-champions managed to score three points. At the very beginning of the meeting, Agkatsev could not cope with Ugalde's shot, but Krasnodar quickly responded with two goals and brought the meeting to a 2-1 victory. All the goals in this match were scored in the first 10 minutes.
The hosts remain the only team to take all nine points in the first three matches. Musaev's team leads the RPL standings and is three points ahead of its closest pursuers.

Current form
It was believed that Akhmat, under the leadership of Stanislav Cherchesov, would be able to compete for high places this season, but the Grozny team has a very good squad. Nevertheless, the start of the championship cannot be called a success. In four official matches, the team has not won a single victory and occupies a place in the play-off zone. In the first round, the team almost lost to the Moscow Locomotive, but managed to equalize in the 83rd minute. The match ended with a score of 1:1.
In the home match with Spartak, we managed to quickly open the scoring by converting a penalty. It was not possible to keep the advantage - at the end of the first half, the Grozny team conceded, and after the break, Casintura was sent off for an elbow strike. It was also impossible to keep a draw, as a result, Akhmat lost 1:2 and was left without tournament points. On August 10, the club from Grozny barely held on to a goalless draw against Fakel in Voronezh.
It is worth noting that the guests have already recently met with Krasnodar. In the cup match on the road, Akhmat performed quite well and lost to the favorite only in a penalty shootout. In the championship, the Grozny team will try to play no worse.
Disqualifications and injuries
The guests have no losses before leaving for Krasnodar.

Approximate line-up: Ulyanov - Bogosavac, Tsake, Ibishev, Adamov - Romao, Silva Lima - Sadulaev, Shchetinin, Samorodov - Melkadze
Krasnodar has shown that it can achieve the desired result, but each time the bulls win with only a minimal advantage. With a two-goal difference, only Rubin managed to beat, but Kazan were outnumbered for almost the entire match. Akhmat never gives up without a fight and will clearly be able to impose competition on the vice-champion of the RPL, with a successful course of play Cherchesov's team may even cling to the tournament points.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (+1) on Akhmat for 1.90
Bet on the total
The hosts lost several players, but others got a chance to prove themselves, which they managed to take advantage of. The attacking game did not suffer at all, in every match Musayev's wards find a way to break through the opponent's defense. Akhmat is also unlikely to cope with the opponent's attacking line, but the guests will respond with their attacks and will surely achieve their goal - Krasnodar has not kept the gate dry so far this season.
Our betting tip is that both will score in 1.78
Betting on corners
Krasnodar always relies on combination football and rarely achieves a large number of corners. At the same time, Akhmat knows how to use standards to his advantage, and in a recent face-to-face match he outplayed Krasnodar by this indicator - 12 against 6. Most likely, this time the guests will serve a lot of corners.
