CONTEXT

The Premier League Regular Season sees Akron take on Dynamo Makhachkala at Samara Arena in what looks set to be an even contest between two closely matched sides.

Akron come into this without a win in six matches, their form reading W0 D2 L4, and they most recently drew away to Rubin Kazan. Dynamo Makhachkala have fared a touch better with one win and three draws alongside two defeats, drawing their last fixture at home versus Zenit. Our power scores indicate Dynamo as the stronger team with a five point advantage, which could be key in this matchup.

CONCLUSION

Dynamo Makhachkala appear better placed to claim victory given their power score edge and slightly superior form record. Akron must find a way to end their winless run at home if they are to pick up vital points in the table. The game is likely to be tight and tactical, with little to separate the teams on paper. Dynamo will aim to use their strength to control the match while Akron look for opportunities on the counter. With both sides drawing frequently of late, another stalemate cannot be ruled out. This encounter will be important for building confidence and position as the league progresses further into the season.
