Akhmat Grozny Preview – Can Akhmat build on promising restart?
An impressive 4-2 win away from home at Krylya Sovetov gave Akhmat Grozny the perfect return to action for Friday’s hosts and this result also ended a dismal run of five matches without a win in the Russian top flight.
Defeats to Ufa, Lokomotiv Moscow and Dinamo Moscow had threatened to dump Akhmat Grozny down into the relegation zone but the win against Krylya has meant that the hosts sit just one position above the relegation zone prior to this important clash against Sochi.
Results and form at home has been tentative though for Akhmat Grozny as they possess a home record dominated by draws with stats of 2-6-4 11/15 with four of their last six matches ending in stalemates while goals have also been short in supply; indeed, 8 of Akhmat Grozny’s last 12 home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals.
Sochi Preview – Can Sochi win five on trot?
An incredible 10-1 thrashing of Rostov at home last weekend saw Sochi pick up a fourth league win on the trot in the Russian Premier League and the visitors will no doubt be in confident mood as they prepare for this trip to relegation-threatened Akhmat Grozny.
Previous wins against Ural, Orenburg and Krasnodar were also achieved on home turf at their Olimpiyskiy Stadion Fisht and indeed, Sochi have actually played their last six matches at home, but they’ll hit the road this Friday night where they’ll be seeking to end a three-match run without a win on the road.
Sochi’s away record of 2-4-4 10/14 is unconvincing though and goals have also been in short supply where Sochi are concerned too as 6 of Sochi’s 10 away matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals.
