Command Analysis

Akron Togliatti

Current form
Akron surprises many football fans with its performance. The Togliatti club is a debutant of the Russian Premier League, but you can’t tell that from the game. High-quality attacking actions led by Dzyuba and Loncar sometimes make defenders of even top teams nervous. At the moment, the team is in ninth place in the tournament table and is six points ahead of the relegation zone, but many said that the team would be there from the very beginning to the end of the season.
In the coming 2025, Akron has not yet played any matches, but the end of 2024 was a great success for the team, as they managed to win the final three matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are currently no injured players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- Akron has won its last three matches.
- Tolyatti club kept zero points in two of their last three matches
Approximate lineup: Vasyutin - Pestryakov, Escoval, Bokoev, Fernandez - Kuzmin, Djurasovich - Danilin, Lonchar, Khubulov - Dzyuba.

Rodina

Current form
Rodina plays in the First League, and its results there leave much to be desired. After the first round, the team is in a modest 12th place in the national championship and is only five points ahead of the teams in the relegation zone. The Moscow club has lost its last three games in the championship.
The first friendly game was on January 19. The opponents were Rostov. Despite the opponent status, they managed to put up a real fight, but they could not escape defeat (2:3). Thus, Vladimir Beschatnykh charges are on a losing streak of four games in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
Andreev will not take part in the match due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Rodina has lost its last four matches
- In the last three games, Muscovites have conceded at least twice
Estimated lineup: Koryakin - Chernyshev, Yudintsev, Kochiev, Meshchaninov - Maltsev, Gordyushenko, Markitesov, Danilin - Abdusalamov, Maksimenko.

2.20Tip and bets
Despite the fact that Akron did not play friendly matches, we are inclined to believe that Togliatti will not make a mistake in the confrontation with the upcoming opponent. At the moment, Rodna is not in the form to resist the opponent, who is a strong mid-table team in the Premier League. The small defeat from Rostov should not mislead. In that match, Rostov itself did not play at full strength, but Akron needs to get into good shape, and a victory over the upcoming opponent will allow them to assert themselves well.
Our prediction is Akron victory with odds of 1.58
Bet on total
The teams have played matches against each other only in the First League. There have been four recorded. In the first two, both teams scored, and in the next two, only one of the teams did. We believe that in a friendly game, the teams will try to attack, and it is highly likely that both teams will score.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.56
Bet on corners
Based on all of the above, it is not difficult to guess that we are expecting an attacking game, in which many over-totals will be broken, including the number of corner kicks.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.81
