Rubin Kazan vs Akhmat Grozny Preview, Predictions & Betting Tips

BTTS is the tip as Rubin Kazan host Akhmat Grozny in a Russian Premier League clash at the Central Stadium in Kazan. Both teams have failed to impress at the start of the season and have appeared shaky at the back. They are backed to find the net at odds of 2.10 with a draw also predicted at 3.25.

Rubin Kazan Form & Team News

Rubin Kazan are coming off their first win of the season as they claimed a 1-0 victory at Dinamo Moscow. They were made to work hard for the win and needed a 93rd minute effort from Beka Mikeltadze.

Eduardo Docampo's men have battled with inconsistency lately with the result at Dinamo ending a run of five matches without a win, stretching back to preseason. They are priced at odds of 2.38 for a win on Monday but with just two clean sheets in their last eight matches, BTTS looks a more likely outcome.

Beka Mikeltadze's late heroics off the bench against Dinamo Moscow could earn him a place in the starting line up on Monday. Vidar Orn Kjartansson is also likely to feature having joined this summer from Swedish outfit Hammarby.

Akhmat Grozny Form & Team News

Akhmat Grozny suffered a 3-0 defeat at Ural last time out in the league. The visitors conceded right before half time and could not find a way back into the contest with Ural grabbing further goals after the break.

Rashid Rahimov's men are often inconsistent on the road having claimed two wins and suffered two defeats in their last five away matches. They are valued at odds of 3.00 for a win in Kazan but with just three clean sheets in their last 10 Russian Premier League matches, they are likely to concede on Monday.

Bernard Berisha was on target in the opening fixture against Krasnodar and should retain his place in midfield. Ablay Mbengue is also set to continue as the lone man in attack having scored three goals in his last five matches across all competitions.

Rubin Kazan vs Akhmat Grozny Head to Head

Rubin Kazan have an 8-7 edge with nine draws from 24 previous matches against Akhmat Grozny. There has been BTTS in two of their last three meetings, although Rubin claimed a 1-0 victory in the last Premier League fixture between both teams.

Rubin Kazan vs Akhmat Grozny Match Up

Vidar Orn Kjartansson impressed for Hammarby last season and moved to Russia with a solid reputation. He could be the one to watch on Monday alongside Beka Mikeltadze, who was on target against Dinamo Moscow.

Akhmat will look to Albay Mbengue to provide the spark having scored three goals in his last five matches. With Bernard Berisha also carrying a goal threat from midfield, the visitors should have enough to trouble Rubin Kazan.
