Aleksey Gasilin, former Zenit striker, shared his thoughts on the match between Akron and Baltika in the first round of the group stage of the Fonbet Russian Cup. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, both teams are expected to make significant changes to their lineups, but the Akron team appears to be ready to play better. Gasilin emphasized that Akron's home game and stable lineup give the Tolyatti team an advantage.
He stated that coach Talalaev will have the opportunity to test new players, as they have not fully adapted yet. At the same time, the situation in the Akron team is more stable, and their chances of winning at home are high.
The Akron and Baltika teams will face each other on July 29. This match will be the first game for both teams in the group stage of the Russian Cup.
The game is expected to be of a high level and an interesting contest.
