Forecast: Total under 2.5 goals. Arguments: In the recent games, both teams have scored few goals. Ahmat has not shown high scoring ability, and Krasnodar is likely to field their main lineup but may not take risks in attack due to the battle for the championship in the Russian Premier League. The match is not of great importance in the cup for them, so both teams may focus on defense.
In the Russian Cup match, Akhmat will host Krasnodar. Krasnodar, currently leading the league, may rest key players after their victory over Zenit. Akhmat needs a win to boost morale, and considering their ambitions, they could put up a strong performance. With Krasnodar likely fielding a rotated squad, a reasonable bet could be that Akhmat will avoid defeat, given their desire for victory and the potential fatigue of the guests after a tough win.
The Ahmat - Krasnodar match promises to be intense. The recent games of both teams show that they both score and concede goals. Ahmat is playing at home, which gives them additional motivation, but Krasnodar has a high level of technique and an attacking style. Considering the importance of the match, a mutual exchange of goals is likely.
