Khimki hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 3 points and a 15th position in the Premier League table. Visiting Dinamo Moskva holds 6th place with 14 pts.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
Khimki form and stats
Khimki have played three Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
In their previous game, the manager D. Gunko led his Khimki to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Krasnodar. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Arena Khimki. In the game before, an away victory in the Russian Cup match versus Zenit Irkutsk with a 1-0 scoreline.
As you see from the result above, Khimki suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Khimki's goalkeeper Ilya Lantratov was extremely busy against Krasnodar, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning nine saves.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Khimki here at Arena Khimki in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.
Dinamo Moskva form and stats
Things could have gone better for Dinamo Moskva in their Premier League away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Dinamo Moskva had fun at their own home (Arena Khimki) last time out, beating Akhmat Grozny 1-0. Ivan Ordets scored. Prior to that match, the Dinamo manager K. Novikov faced defeat when travelling to Lokomotivi Tbilisi and losing 1-2.
Late drama in the previous game, when Ivan Ordets scored the winning goal one minutes into stoppage time to defeat Akhmat Grozny.
Dinamo Moskva have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 3 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Dinamo have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last eight matches): Khimki two wins, one draw and Dinamo Moskva five victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
