Akron vs. Zenit: Match Prediction

Tolyatti picked up 6 of their 7 points in the first four rounds, after which the team's results declined. Zaur Tedeev's side has lost 5 of their last 6 Premier League matches. Akron's opponents during this period were tough, and their next opponent is a title contender. Moreover, Zenit has gained momentum and secured 4 wins in their last 5 RPL matches, dropping points only against the resilient Baltika. Tedeev's side is far from matching Kaliningrad's level.


Akron's defense ranks among the tournament's worst, conceding at least two goals in six consecutive league matches. With such stats, Tolyatti is unlikely to hold off Zenit's attack, which has started to show the expected level of scoring. In their last six RPL matches, Zenit failed to score only against the aforementioned Baltika, while their other opponents conceded at least twice.

 

My prediction: Zenit to win and Total over 1.5 goals
