Akhmat Grozny
Akhmat Grozny were two goals up away to Lokomotiv Moscow in the last round, but ultimately had to settle for a draw – 2:2. Even so, that outcome against one of the competition's leading sides can be viewed as a positive result for the away team. However, the stalemate brought Stanislav Cherchesov's men's three-match winning run in the league to an end.

Akron Tolyatti vs Akhmat Grozny: Match Prediction
The Tolyatti side played their last three league matches away from home and failed to pick up any points in them. The team will also still be disappointed after their previous home game, in which Zaur Tedeyev's men lost to Pari Nizhny Novgorod. We believe the players will be desperate to end this poor run. At home, Akron Tolyatti can cause problems for any opponent's defence. In this season's league campaign, the club have scored in eight of nine games on home soil, with only the flawless Baltika Kaliningrad keeping them out. At the same time, the Tolyatti side are the only team without a single home clean sheet.
Akhmat Grozny, for their part, have yet to keep a clean sheet away from home, and in four of their last five away matches in the Russian Premier League the team have conceded at least twice. However, it is worth noting that Stanislav Cherchesov's men managed to score against two top-four sides in the last two rounds, and the Grozny club are currently on a four-match scoring run in the league. We believe the club will find the net again in the upcoming match, but they are unlikely to register their first away clean sheet.
Prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
