Akron has shown a powerful attack, scoring several goals in each match. Fakel, playing at home, has also been strong, recently scoring two goals against tough opponents. Both teams will be fighting for points, guaranteeing us an open game with plenty of goals. My prediction is Over 2.5 Total goals.
