Zenit vs. Akhmat: Match Prediction

Zenit's only defeat this season came against Akhmat in the 4th round of the RPL. The desire for revenge will add motivation for Sergei Semak's side, although the team already shows excellent results in the Russian Cup. At home, Zenit has won 7 consecutive matches in this tournament, showcasing impressive defensive play by conceding only one goal during this stretch.


Akhmat has not been pleasing their fans with results in the Russian Cup. The victory over Rubin in the last round was only their second win in the last 8 matches in this tournament (6 losses). The club is meeting Zenit for the third consecutive time in the group stage of the national cup, and the previous two trips to Saint Petersburg did not bring Akhmat any points. Moreover, the recent victory over Zenit ended a 7-match losing streak in official head-to-head encounters with the Saint Petersburg team.
