Key stats

FK Krasnodar are unbeaten in their last nine home matches in the Russian Premier League, winning seven of them.
Akron Tolyatti have struggled for goals on their travels, failing to score in three of their last five away league games.
Krasnodar have scored an average of 2.5 goals per game in their home fixtures so far this season.

A correct score prediction for this match is FK Krasnodar 3-0 FK Akron Tolyatti. The home side’s form, particularly at their own stadium, is simply formidable. Their fluid attack, led by the prolific Jhon Córdoba and the creative Eduard Spertsyan, should prove far too powerful for an Akron side that has found it difficult to compete with the top teams away from home. Expect Krasnodar to dominate possession from the start, patiently probing before their superior quality breaks down the visitors’ defence to secure a comprehensive victory.

Team News Home

Krasnodar’s manager has nearly a full squad at his disposal, with only long-term absentee Sergey Petrov remaining unavailable. Key central defender Junior Alonso has recovered from a minor knock and is expected to return to the heart of the defence. The coach faces a selection dilemma in attack, with several in-form players vying for a starting spot alongside talisman Jhon Córdoba.

Team News Away

Akron Tolyatti will be without their captain and key defender, Danila Khotulev, who is serving a one-match suspension for yellow card accumulation. His absence is a significant blow to their defensive stability ahead of such a tough fixture. The rest of the squad is fit, and the manager is expected to set his team up in a defensive 5-4-1 formation to try and contain the potent Krasnodar attack.
