Akron Togliatti vs Fakel Voronezh Prediction & Betting Tips (18 September)

Fakel Voronezh are guaranteed to finish bottom of the Russian Cup, and it is easy to see why when you consider that the team have suffered several defeats at the top table of Russian Cup. Although Akron Togliatti haven’t been in great form themselves of late, a record of 10 wins from their last 17 home matches suggests that they should have enough.

Over the course of their last 10 matches at the top table of the Russian Cup, Akron Togliatti have been involved in eight encounters in which under 2.5 goals have been scored. Given that 13 of the previous 17 Fakel Voronezh away games at this elite level have followed the same pattern, anyone expecting this clash to serve up more than two goals is likely to be disappointed.

Akron Togliatti have played four matches since securing their place in the Russian Cup, with no fewer than three of these encounters producing a clean sheet at one end of the pitch. This has also been the case in seven of the previous nine top-flight fixtures involving Fakel Voronezh, so any deviation from this script would come as a bit of a surprise.
