Dinamo Moskva form and stats

Home games in the Premier League have been a walk in the park for Dinamo Moskva so far, with 25 points won from 10 matches; 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. After failing to beat Rubin Kazan here at VTB Arena, Dinamo has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.

A nice win for Dinamo last time playing, versus Tambov. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Vyacheslav Grulev and Nikola Moro scoring for the victors. A strong away win before that one, visiting Akhmat Grozny and winning 2-1.
