Akron Togliatti vs Rubin Kazan Prediction & Betting Tips (23 October)

Rubin Kazan recent away form leaves a lot to be desired, with the team in claret and blue suffering nine defeats in 13 League One trips. Promotion-chasing Akron Togliatti seem to have come through what was a sticky period, winning two of their previous three matches at this level, including a win success during their past games.

Although promotion-chasing Akron Togliatti have been renowned for playing some swashbuckling football this season, four of Akron Togliatti previous five games at this level have actually produced under 2.5 goals. This has also been the case in six consecutive Rubin Kazan matches in the Russian Cup, so expectations should be lowered ahead of this contest.

One area in which Akron Togliatti have proven incredibly consistent recently is in their involvement in top-flight fixtures in which at least one of the two goalkeepers pitches a shutout, with this happening 13 times in 14 attempts. This has also been the case in seven of the last 11 matches involving Rubin Kazan at this level, so more of the same is expected when the teams lock horns.
