CSKA Moscow vs Akhmat Grozny Prediction & Betting Tips (22 October)

CSKA Moscow have been cooking with gas on their own patch of late, winning eight and drawing one of their previous nine top-flight fixtures, not to mention outscoring their opponents by 14 goals to two along the way. Akhmat Grozny, on the other hand, have found the going tough on the road of late, losing four of their last five trips, including one at this venue.

Having been involved in 19 top-flight fixtures out of 19 recently in which under 3.5 goals have been scored, it would be fair to say that CSKA Moscow have proven pretty consistent in this area. Although Akhmat Grozny cannot compete with these numbers, it remains the case that 13 of their last 16 away matches in the Russian Cup have also delivered no more than three successful strikes.

Over the course of their last 21 away matches in the Russian Cup, Akhmat Grozny have been involved in just five contests in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 91 minutes. What’s more, 13 of the previous 19 CSKA Moscow games at this level have seen at least one of the two sides pitch a shutout, so it would come as a surprise to see both teams score.
