Match Preview
As Akhmat Grozny prepares to host Zenit in the Russian Cup on July 30, both teams will be looking to establish momentum early in the tournament. Akhmat's recent form, which includes two wins and three losses, suggests inconsistency, particularly in their defensive setup. Conversely, Zenit has shown resilience, with two wins and three draws in their last five outings, indicating a more stable performance. Historically, this fixture has favoured Zenit, who have won five of their last ten encounters against Akhmat. Additionally, with eight of those matches seeing over 2.5 goals, fans can expect an attacking display. The key angle to watch will be Akhmat's ability to exploit their home advantage at the Akhmat Arena, where they will need to tighten their defence to contain Zenit's potent attack. If Akhmat can find their scoring touch while shoring up their backline, this match could be a thrilling contest.
