Struggling Akron will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Neftekhimik in the upcoming league round. It’s 18th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
