Current form
Following the results of four rounds in the Premier League, CSKA scored eight points and is in fifth place. The result was generally good, but the army team's calendar was not the most difficult. Muscovites can hardly take advantage of two home draws with Krylia Sovetov (1:1) and Rostov (0:0). In the first round of the group stage of the Russian Cup, Dmitry Igdisamov's team played with Lokomotiv. The main time of that meeting ended in a 1-1 draw, and in the penalty shootout, the Army team performed better.
Disqualifications and injuries
CSKA's injured list includes Akinfeev and Moises.
Interesting betting trends
Approximate composition: Borisko – Gaich, Abdulkadyrov, Lukin, Reis – Kislyak, Barinov – Firov, Alves, Glebov – Musaev.
Current form
Akron is failing the start of the season and has not won a single official match. There are a lot of questions for Srdjan Blagojevich's players on defense: 14 goals conceded in five matches played. Some progress was made in the last two rounds of the RPL, when they managed to draw with Lokomotiv (0:0) and Rodina (3:3). The depth of the Tolyatti team is clearly not enough, the head coach obviously focuses on the national championship. In the first round of the Cup, Akron lost to Rostov without a chance (0-4), conceding two goals in each half.
Disqualifications and injuries
Zheleznov is injured and will not play today.
Interesting betting trends
Approximate composition: Terekhovsky – Bardybakhin, Nedelcharu, Escoval, Popenkov – Bistrovich, Khosonov, Bazilevsky – Dudu, Tedich, Arevalo.
Under Blagojevich's leadership, Akron relies on an attack, but this tactic does not bring positive results. Tolyatti's team regularly fails defensively, which their opponents use without any problems. It is obvious that the RPL is a priority for Akron, in the first round of the Cup there was a crushing defeat against Rostov, the depth of the squad is clearly not enough. CSKA has a complete order with the depth of the squad. Plus, the Army team is successfully playing with the Tolyatti team, they won in four previous face-to-face meetings, which we expect from them today.
Our betting tip is for CSKA to win with an Asian handicap (-1) for a coefficient of 1.80
Bet on the total
Akron only scored zero points against Lokomotiv, and has regularly conceded at least two goals in the other four matches since the start of the season. The problems in defense have not disappeared from Tolyatti. CSKA is able to open the enemy's defenses more than once, but the army men themselves do not stand out as a reliable line of defense. We believe that at least three goals will be scored in the match, as it was in the previous four face-to-face meetings.
The second bet is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.64
Betting on corners
Despite numerous setbacks, Akron has consistently won on corners in the last five matches. Based on this trend, we recommend another bet on the match.
Prediction – Akron wins on corners with a handicap (+2.5) with a coefficient of 1.65
