Command Analysis

FC Krasnodar

Current form
Krasnodar started the new season with a 2:4 defeat to Zenit in the Super Cup, but so far this is the only defeat of the Bulls in all tournaments. However, the start cannot be called particularly successful - Murad Musayev's team is only seventh in the Premier League table, six points behind the leader Zenit. In the first round of the Cup, the Bulls beat CSKA 1:0.
Disqualifications and injuries
Krasnodar still have Fedor Smolov and John Cordoba out of action. Both missed the match against CSKA in the championship, but the Colombian could theoretically return for the upcoming match. Caio was injured in the game against the Army Men, and the hosts will not be able to count on him today either.
Interesting trends for betting
- Krasnodar have not beaten Akhmat in their last four matches
- In the last four home matches, Krasnodar conceded goals from Akhmat in the second halves
Approximate lineup : Agkatsev - Petrov, Harutyunyan, Tormena, Bachi - Victor Sa, Lenini, Kozlov, Castagno, Olusegun - Kobnan

FK Akhmat

Krasnodar have looked quite solid in their last home games and will certainly strive to build on their success today. The Bulls will clearly put pressure on Akhmat's goal from the first minutes and the visitors have little chance of keeping a clean sheet. At the same time, Krasnodar will not be able to avoid rotation, Akhmat knows how to play on the counterattack and is quite capable of responding.
