Akhmat Grozny hosts Rotor Volgograd in round 3 of the Russian Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 19th at Akhmat-Arena (Groznyj)
Having fired Shalimov, who saved the team from relegation, Akhmat once again changed the coach. Grozny played very well under the management of Shalimov, but for some reason his resignation did not even surprise me: the bosses of the Chechen club have long had such a hobby - changing coaches like gloves. This approach to football management has never been helpful to anyone. Akhmat has a rather mediocre squad, and the coaching leapfrog will sooner or later lead the team to relegation. Talalaev is undoubtedly a talented coach, but he is not a magician. He will not build a team game overnight. In the first two matches, it was clear how disorganized the players of Akhmat were. Grozny residents have not scored a single goal under Talalaev.

Rotor seems to be seriously determined to gain a foothold in the Premier League. The team has a good squad for a native of the FNL, and it managed to seriously strengthen itself with experienced players who played in the RPL before the start of the season. In terms of the game, the Volgograd team looked decent in the first two rounds and played with great desire. The Volgograd players did not play very convincingly in the attack, but they succeeded in destruction, having conceded only two goals in the match against Zenit and kept a clean sheet in the away meeting with Dynamo.
Akhmat will have a serious test in this match. They should play against a tightly closed opponent from a position of strength, and it will defend a goalless draw with all its might. If Grozny did not manage to score with more open Arsenal and Spartak, then it will be extremely difficult for them to breach the Volgograd bus. Perhaps they will be able to score due to the individual skill of technical Berisha or other players of the attacking group, but hardly more than once. You can also bet on Under 2.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Rotor Volgograd to win with +1.0 handicap
