There’s action from the Russian top flight on Monday night and we take a look ahead to the clash between Akhmat Grozny and Orenburg as the betting tips continue at the Akhmat Arena.
Akhmat Grozny Prediction – Can Grozny return home with a win?
Following recent back-to-back defeats on the road at Ural and Rubin Kazan which resulted in 3-0 and 1-0 losses, Grozny will be relieved to be returning home for this clash.
The hosts currently occupy 13th place in the Russian Premier League having secured just 1 win from their opening 3 matches of the new domestic season.
This win came in the shape of a 1-0 home win against 3rd placed Krasnodar, so Akhmat Grozny will be confident that they can turn things around on Monday night.
Overall form shows us that Akhmat Grozny have lost just 3 of their last 10 matches overall in the Russian top flight, which have all been away from home.
Losses at CSKA Moscow (towards the end of last season) along with the aforementioned defeats on the road this season make up these 3 reverses.
However, on home turf at their Akhmat Arena, the hosts have put together a solid looking 5-match unbeaten run in recent times.
Draws against Krasnodar and Zenit were followed by 3 wins on the trot with victories gained over Krylya Sovetov, Rostov and Krasnodar.
Orenburg Prediction – Can Orenburg avoid 4th defeat on trot?
The visitors have made a disastrous start to their new Russian Premier League campaign following 3 defeats on the trot.
Defeats away from home at Rostov 2-1 and CSKA Moscow 2-1 along with last weekend’s 2-0 loss at home to Zenit has left them second from bottom.
Orenburg now sit in the relegation zone as they prepare for a tricky trip to face Akhmat Grozny in their own backyard on Monday night.
Their task isn’t made any easier by the fact that Orenburg have lost 7 of their last 10 away matches in the Russian top flight.
Within this 10-match sequence away from home, Orenburg have kept just 1 clean sheet on their travels during this period (a 2-0 win at Ufa).
However, the visitors have tended to leak goals at the back on a regular basis as they’ve conceded 2 goals or more in 9 of these last 10 away from home.
Last season, Oreburg finished in a creditable 7th place and narrowly missed out on a top six spot which would have seen them qualify for the Europa League.
The majority of their success last term though was down to their form at home while they finished with an ordinary away record of 5-3-7 21/22.
Key-Facts – Akhmat Grozny v Orenburg
- Akhmat Grozny are unbeaten in their last 5 home matches in the Premier League
- Orenburg have lost 7 of their last 10 away matches in the Russian top flight
- Akhmat Grozny are unbeaten in their last 2 encounters against Orenburg at home
