Command Analysis

FK Akhmat

Current form
Last season, Akhmat was fighting for survival at the finish and managed to escape, but the start of the new season was a complete failure. Despite the fact that the management has already managed to change the coach, the results have not improved significantly and by the start of the 12th round, Sergey Tashuev team is approaching the last line in the table. At the same time, the "wolves" are only one point behind the transitional matches zone and will certainly strive to leave the direct relegation zone today - Akhmat is the only team in the championship that has not won a single game.

Cardoso, Berisha and Bogosavac were injured.

2.55Tip and bets
Akhmat is still winless in the championship and is at the bottom of the standings – the Wolves hardly need any extra motivation in a confrontation with a direct competitor. Despite a number of strong matches, Fakel has plenty of problems in its game, and the Voronezh team is clearly inferior to its opponent in terms of player selection. The Blue-Whites have lost all five away matches in the championship, and Akhmat will probably extend this streak today, as it clearly has a firm intention to leave the last place in the standings.

Bet on total
"Akhmat" will obviously be determined today and will strive only for victory. At home, the "wolves" are traditionally aggressive in attack and will rush forward from the first minutes. In defense, "Fakel" is vulnerable, especially in away matches, it will be almost impossible to play reliably in defense. At the same time, in the last seven matches, the Voronezh team scored against "Akhmat", they are quite capable of responding with one goal today, the "wolves" also concede in each match.
