Dynamo Moscow wins
Dynamo Moscow wins
In the spring part of the championship, Dynamo beat only those clubs that are at the bottom of the table. In addition, the Blue and Whites are remembered for their controversial performances in the Russian Cup.
When playing against more powerful opponents, Slavisa Jokanović’s wards cannot compete with each other. For example, like with Zenit (1:3) in the last round.
The team generates an average of 1.4 xg per game, with 1.17 xg allowed. It is worth noting that Dynamo’s native walls help a lot. This is evidenced by the 67% of points scored at the VTB Arena.
Fakel shows perseverance and high ambitions only on his own field. In away matches, the “offsiders” have not yet won a single victory and scored only 4 points, which is the worst indicator in the RPL.
Unlike the opponent, Dmitry Pyatibratov’s players have a high tournament motivation. After 24 rounds, they are in a common zone, and places with guaranteed relegation to the second league are separated by only 1 point.
In terms of the expected number of goals scored (xg = 1.05) and conceded (xga = 1.59), Fakel ranks 4th and 5th from the bottom in the RPL.
I suspect that Dynamo will traditionally have no problems with the outsider and will score maximum points in this meeting.
