Akhmat Grozny vs Sochi FC Prediction 2 August 2021
On Monday evening, Grozny will host the final game of the second round of the RPL between Akhmat and Sochi.
The middle-tier team of the previous championship, Akhmat, started this one with a minimum victory of 2:1 over Krylia Sovetov. But throughout all the training camps, the Greens showed very average results - draws with Haladas (0:0) and Al-Fateh (2:2), as well as defeats 1:2 from Slovan and 1:3 from Bohemians 1905.
In its second year in the elite of Russian football, Sochi finished in a high fifth position, thus qualifying for the Conference League. There the Snow Leopards easily dealt with the Azerbaijani Kesla (3:0). But in the RPL there was a 0:1 fiasco from Nizhniy Novgorod.
We think that the guests will offer Akhmat a more defensive model of the game, which those who are in the role of underdogs will not refuse. In such a scenario, we are unlikely to see the scoring extravaganza.
