Rubin and Akron Face Off Amidst Struggles
Two Russian football clubs, Rubin and Akron, are set to clash this weekend, each struggling in their respective campaigns.
Rubin, currently in 5th place in the championship, has been experiencing significant defensive issues, having conceded 12 goals in their last 5 away matches. Their recent away opponents include CSKA, Zenit, Akhmat, Orenburg, and the Russian Cup.
On the other hand, Akron has lost 6 consecutive matches, including the Russian Cup. They have been under pressure to end their 3-match home losing streak, one of which was to Lokomotiv on September 16 in the Russian Cup. Akron's recent opponents in their last 5 matches are all in the top 4 of the current championship: CSKA, Lokomotiv, Baltika, Krasnodar.
Both teams will be without key defenders. Rubin is missing Igor Vujacic of Montenegro and Denil Maldonado of Honduras, who is still recovering from a preseason foot injury. Akron, meanwhile, has been without Maldonado due to injuries as well.
Given their current form, Akron may aim to at least avoid defeat against Rubin, while Rubin will be hoping to break their 5-game away losing streak. The Tolyatti club, however, boasts two decent defenders in their squad, providing a potential opportunity for Rubin to capitalise on.
The Tolyatti club is determined to break their 3-match home losing streak in the Russian Cup, having lost all 4 of their last 5 matches, with scores of 1:3, 0:2 and 1:3, 0:2, 1:2.
The team that played against the Tolyatti club in the last season of the Russian Cup was Spartak Moscow. It remains to be seen if Rubin can turn their fortunes around and secure a victory against Akron.
