Dynamo Moscow Analysis

Recent Form and League Standing

The capital club broke their three-match winless streak in the league with a convincing 3-0 victory over Pari NN. This also marked the first time they scored more than two goals in their last 9 RPL matches. These three points propelled Valeri Karpin’s side to 7th place in the overall standings. However, among the top half of the league, Moscow Dynamo has the fewest effective shots (7). Notably, in the game against Nizhny Novgorod, Dynamo registered 15 shots on target, which is the highest figure for any team this season.

Dynamo Moscow Key Stats

• Dynamo Moscow conceded goals in 6 of their last 8 Premier League encounters.
• The club has failed to win in 9 of their last 10 away matches in the championship (5 draws, 4 losses).

Dynamo Makhachkala vs Dynamo Moscow Match Prediction

Dynamo Moscow’s Away Form

The capital club secured a convincing victory in their last outing, but the opponent’s quality should be considered. Pari NN is currently in the relegation zone and among the bottom three for goals conceded. Moreover, Dynamo Moscow has failed to score more than one goal in 9 of their last 10 away RPL matches. Nevertheless, they did collect points in 6 of those fixtures (1 win, 5 draws), losing only to the current top-3 teams in the championship.

Makhachkala’s Home Defense

Dynamo Makhachkala’s recent away streak saw them concede six goals. However, at home, Khasanbi Bidzhiev’s side rarely falters defensively. In their last 8 home Premier League matches, they allowed only one opponent to score more than once. It should also be noted that the club has won just one of their last five home league games (2 draws, 2 losses).

Final Betting Tip

The capital club has never lost to Dynamo Makhachkala in official encounters. I believe Dynamo Moscow has a strong chance to extend this unbeaten run, but the hosts are capable of putting up a fight. My prediction: “Dynamo Moscow will not lose and Total Goals Under 3.5” with odds of 1.62
