For now, the red-and-whites can be pleased with themselves.
While the Champions League qualification is gathering pace and the European championships are just getting ready for the start of the new season, the Russian Premier League has already reached the fourth round. On August 11, the Spartak – Akhmat match will take place in Moscow at the Lukoil Arena stadium. Kick-off is scheduled for 20:00 Moscow time. The bookmakers have already made their predictions, so we will try our hand at it too.
What do bookmakers expect from the match of the Russian championship between Spartak and Akhmat on August 11?
The bookmakers are clear in their predictions: they consider the home team to be the favourite. The victory of Spartak Moscow is given a coefficient of 1.45 by the bookmakers, which translated into probability terms is close to 70%. The success of Akhmat Grozny is estimated at a coefficient of 7.00, which is approximately 14% probability. They offer to bet on a draw with a rate of 5.20.
Analysts also believe that the fourth round of the RPL meeting in Moscow will be productive. A total of over 2.5 goals has a rate of 1.65, and a total of under 2.5 goals has a rate of 2.32. You can bet on the goal of the Muscovites at 1.09, and on the goal of Grozny at 1.63. The most likely, according to experts, is a result of 2:0 in favor of the hosts, the rate for such an event is 7.00.
Analysis and prediction for the match of the 4th round of the RPL “Spartak” – “Akhmat” (11/08/2024)
After a dry defeat in the debut match under the new coach, Spartak achieved good results and seemed to have found their game. Dejan Stankovic apparently needed only one match to draw the right conclusions. After the 2-0 defeat to Orenburg, there was an away win over Khimki (3-1) and a home win over Krylia Sovetov (3-0).
The new season starts soon in Spain:
Not better than Ronaldo. How will Mbappé perform in the 2024/2025 season?
Another crushing victory is also worth mentioning, but this time in the Russian Cup. Namely, in the derby against Dynamo Moscow (3-0). Then the red-and-whites looked better than the bronze medalist of the Russian Championship in almost everything. They held the ball longer, attacked more often and sharper, and also landed 20 shots. Igor Leshchuk could not cope with everything that came his way.
So far, Dejan Stankovic’s team looks interesting. The defence has stabilised and the attack has made brilliant moves. This is partly due to the new arrivals. Many people talk about Ezequiel Barco, using the word “delicious” in relation to his game. We’ll see what happens when the defenders get used to him and start playing tighter. But three effective actions in two RPL matches are solid.
At the same time, Spartak should be inspired by the recent results and therefore will logically be the favourites in the upcoming match. And even on their own ground. Akhmat, on the contrary, is under pressure. In the last round of the Russian Championship, they lost 0:5 to Lokomotiv and are still in the playoff zone. The only positive thing was the victory over Paris NN in the Russian Cup.
It is clear that Magomed Aliev did not stay at the Grozny club for this reason. It is logical that the Groznians will come to the Lukoil Arena to get points and start fighting. The red-and-whites, on the other hand, are expected to have a difficult time. But they are the favourites. And deservedly so. And with such a performance they can count on a sure victory with a two-goal advantage.
Ours in France:
Matvey Safonov will win Ligue 1, but Golovin has a better chance in the French Cup
The fact is that Akhmat historically plays poorly in Moscow against Spartak. While at home there are usually wins and draws, in the last five games in Tushino there were two draws and three losses. And now, in principle, it is difficult to count on points. It is not clear how long the red-and-whites will be able to hold out in this form, but we are making the most of the moment.
Tender: Spartak wins with a handicap (-1.5) at 2.22.
