The club managed to break away from Lokomotiv Plovdiv and Lokomotiv Sofia, who are sharing 13th place, by five points. It was Lokomotiv Sofia that they managed to beat in their last match after going into winter break. The match ended with a score of 2:1 and broke the hosts' streak of three defeats.

FK Akhmat

Current form
Akhmat often fails in the first half of the season in the Russian championship, and this is what happened this time. At first it seemed that the team just needed time to get into shape, but the situation did not improve for a long time. Even a change of coach did not help the Grozny team to improve their results. The club won its first victory of the season only in the 13th round, beating Rostov away (3:2). Contrary to expectations, the victory did not help the visiting players believe in themselves. After that, five defeats in a row followed, and only in the last two matches before going on pause did they manage to score points. Sergey Tashuev charges tied with Moscow Dynamo (1:1), and then beat one of their main competitors, Orenburg (1:0). The Chechen club has also been performing well in friendly matches - they have already managed to beat Serbian Novi Pazar (5:3) and Vojvodina (1:0). Such a development of events gives hope for success in the second half of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with their squad ahead of the friendly match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team won three games in a row
- The visitors have scored in each of their last seven matches
Estimated lineup: Oparin - Adamov, Zhirov, Ibishev, Utsiev - Camilo, Silva Lima - Sadulaev, Utkin, Samorodov - Felipe
Tip and bets
Septemvri does not stand out at the level of the Bulgarian league and recently played in the second division. The Sofia team managed to win three friendly matches, but the opponents were much less prestigious than Akhmat. Grozny are determined to maintain their place in the Premier League and have demonstrated excellent results in training sparring. The Wolves will surely win another victory at the training camp.
Our betting tip is Akhmat victory in 1.57
Bet on total
Grozny managed to keep a clean sheet in the match with Vojvodina, a strong participant in the Serbian Super League.

Most likely, the nominal hosts will again focus on defense, so do not expect a goal extravaganza here.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals at 1.85
Bet on corners
Most likely, the opponents will bet on defense, so you should not expect many corner kicks from this match. We suggest betting on the total under on this indicator as well.
