Match begins: 16:30 (UTC)
Venue: Olimpiyskiy stadion Luzhniki (16500 seats)

The FNL season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Torpedo Moskva and Akron promises to be an interesting one.

It's no vacation for neither Torpedo Moskva nor Akron as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Torpedo Moskva form and stats

The home team returns to Olimpiyskiy stadion Luzhniki after being equal after 90 minutes with Spartak Moskva II (placed 6th) on their last time out; the FNL game ended 1-1. Prior to that, an away loss at Shinnik.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Torpedo matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, zero draws and one defeat (from five games).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Torpedo as they are travelling to their away game against Krasnodar II in the FNL. That match is three days after this one.

Akron form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the FNL ended in defeat. Last season Akron had these away match statistics: Played 10; won 6, drew 1 and lost 3.

Akron won their last game, 2-1 versus Shinnik played at home. A 0-1 defeat away at Fakel before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Akron when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing zero and winning zero games.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The FNL trip to Spartak Moskva II.

0 goals so far away for Akron, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
