Akron's triumph over Lokomotiv in the Cup of Russia is forecasted by Poonamarev
In the upcoming match of the fourth round of the group stage of the FONBET Russian Cup, Akron and Lokomotiv will face off on Tuesday. The venue for this exciting encounter will be set at 18:45 Moscow time.
Currently, Lokomotiv is in second place in group D with 6 points, while Akron finds itself in third place with 5 points. However, recent performances by both teams have raised some intriguing questions about the outcome of this highly anticipated match.
Akron has been experiencing a series of defeats in the championship, and bookmakers are sceptical about their chances of securing a victory over Lokomotiv. Nevertheless, Vladimir Ponomaiev, a former CSKA defender, has predicted a potential upset in the Russian Cup match between Akron and Lokomotiv.
Ponomaiev believes that Lokomotiv will save their key players for the championship matches and field a reserve team. This strategy could potentially play into Akron's hands, as they seek to turn the tide in their favour.
Lokomotiv recently barely avoided defeat against Akhmat, drawing the match, which might have given Akron a glimmer of hope. On the other hand, Lokomotiv's resilience in that match could also be a sign of their determination to secure a victory in their upcoming encounter with Akron.
The coach of Akron in the Russian football championship is not explicitly listed in the search results. However, since Akron Togliatti is mentioned as an opponent of Lokomotiv Moscow, whose coach is Mikhail Galaktionov, and no direct coach name for Akron is given, the specific name of Akron's coach is not found in the provided data.
Meanwhile, the expert suggests that the main time of the match could end in a draw. Yet, Ponomaiev believes that Akron has the advantage in the penalty shootout.
In a separate development, Svyischev has called on 'Zenit' to sue Rakitsky for slander. This unrelated issue does not seem to have any direct impact on the upcoming match between Akron and Lokomotiv.
Finally, Gubereniyev has named Talalaev the best coach in Russia at the moment. Regardless of who takes the top spot in the coaching rankings, both Akron and Lokomotiv will undoubtedly put up a strong fight in their Russian Cup encounter.
As the clock ticks closer to the kickoff, fans of both teams are eagerly anticipating this exciting matchup. Will Akron manage to pull off an upset, or will Lokomotiv continue their strong form? Only time will tell.
