Command Analysis

Fakel

Current form
Fakel has been failing miserably at the start of the season on all fronts, having not yet won a single game in either the championship or the Cup. In the Premier League, Igor Cherevchenko's team has managed to score only one point in four rounds and is rightfully in last place in the table at the moment. In the first round of the Cup, Fakel lost 0:3 to Zenit, playing with a far from strong lineup.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fakel will be sidelined by Igor Kalinin and Ryan Senaji due to injuries. Abdulla Bagamayev has been disqualified for being sent off in the first round. Considering the very modest selection of players, the losses are significant.
Interesting trends for betting
- Fakel have not scored in four matches in a row
- In the last four matches, Fakel has conceded seven goals, six of which came in the second halves.
Estimated line-up : Gudiyev – Cherov, Bryzgalov, Bozhin – Dziov, Ivlev, Kvekveskiri, Shchetinin, Alshin – Ilyin, Markov.

Akron Togliatti

Current form
No one could expect any serious feats from Akron in its debut season in the Premier League – it has not managed to strengthen its team significantly in the summer, and Zaur Tadeyev’s team is one of the most modest in the championship in terms of player selection. At the same time, the Togliatti team has managed to hold on to 10th place in the Premier League table. In the Cup, Akron lost 0:4 to Rubin in the first round.
Disqualifications and injuries

2.05Tip and bets
After five matches without a win, four of which ended in defeat, Fakel is under serious pressure and desperately needs a win. Despite the fact that the match will be held in empty stands, the blue-whites should have enough motivation and resources to take three points - Akron is playing in the Cup with reserves and is also not in the best shape overall.
Bet - Asian handicap (0) on "Fakel" . This bet is offered with odds of 1.75
Bet on total
Fakel has scored only one goal in five matches of the new season – the efficiency, to put it mildly, is not impressive, but today the hosts will be incredibly motivated and it makes sense to count on them scoring goals. Akron has nothing to lose, the Cup is not a priority tournament, and the guests will probably play for their goal.

Bet on corners
Fakel, as the host, will most likely play first and will confidently win on corners.
