Competition: Russia Premier League

Match begins: 15:30 (UTC)
Venue: VEB Arena (30457 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Dinamo Moskva are in the 10th position while the guesting Krylya Sovetov worry at 15th.

The hosts Dinamo Moskva saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Premier League. That game was an away game at Ural, so at least Dinamo are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

These teams have little in common geographically as Krylya Sovetov have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Krylya Sovetov are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Dinamo Moskva form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Dinamo Moskva have only managed 3 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses from their games here at VEB Arena.

The fans are hoping that Dinamo Moskva will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Premier League game against Ural (placed 7th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Arsenal Tula (0-1).

The defeat against Ural was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored two minutes into stoppage time (by P. Pogrebnyak).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Dinamo's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won two matches, drawn three and lost one.

There will be little rest for Dinamo Moskva after this match as they are travelling to Ufa for a Premier League game in only four days.

Dinamo have scored 10 league goals here from 13 matches, not a lot. Dinamo's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 14 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Krylya Sovetov form and stats

Playing away, Krylya Sovetov have won 5 games, drawn 2 and suffered 7 defeats in the Premier League this season.

Two travels in a row for Sovetov, whose manager A. Talalaev could celebrate last time after the Premier League win against Arsenal Tula. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Rostov.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Arsenal Tula was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Sovetov playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.

A quick return to home after this game, as Sovetov are hosting Krasnodar in the Premier League only three days away.

Sovetov are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 17 away goals from 14 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Krylya Sovetov have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.
