The Sunday program of the fifth round of the Russian Premier League will open in the Moscow region, where the local Khimki will play at home with the Grozny Akhmat. Your attention is invited to the forecast for this match.
Khimki
The Khimki team got off to a great start in the new championship. At first, there was a draw at home with Zenit (1:1) and a big victory over Paris NN (3:0). After that, they lost minimally to Rostov (0:1) and defeated Torpedo (3:1). But successful performances were overshadowed by the sudden resignation from the post of head coach Sergei Yuran, which gave rise to a lot of dirty rumors and guesses. Nikolay Pisarev became the new coach of the team.
"Akhmat"
Akhmatovites look a bit heavy at the start of the season, although they also scored 4 points in the first two home matches, drawing with Spartak (1:1) and defeating Fakel (2:1). After that, Andrey Talalaev's team lost on the road to Sochi (1:2), and in their native walls, playing from the end of the first half in the majority, they drew with Zenit (0:0).
Statistics and figures
- Khimki have lost only 1 match out of the last five, winning three times;
- In three of the last five matches, the "Total more than 2.5" bet was held by Him;
- Khimki have an 8-match unbeaten streak at home (5 wins + 3 draws);
- "Akhmat" has won 8 matches out of the last nine head-to-head with Khimki, losing only once;
- "Akhmat" won only 1 match out of the last five, but also lost only once;
- In four of the last five matches of Akhmat, the bet "Both teams will score" took place;
- "Akhmat" won only 1 match out of the last eight away matches, losing four times.
Forecasts
The whole story of the scandalous change of the head coach cannot benefit any team. A week ago, Khimki could have been considered the favorite of this meeting, but now I would be inclined to trust the statistics of full-time matches more, where Akhmat has dominated in recent years. And Andrey Talalaev's team is still gradually progressing, approaching its optimal physical readiness.
