Each team listed the starting lineup from their previous match in this tournament.
Akhmat
Sergey Tashuev's side lost 1-2 away to Krylya Sovetov in the last round. This defeat marked Akhmat's third consecutive loss and sixth in their last seven RPL matches, with the team conceding at least two goals in each of these games. The Grozny side remains in the penultimate position in the standings with nine points. Notably, the team has the worst home record in the current championship, earning just four points.
Defender Miroslav Bogosavac and forward Bernard Berisha will miss the game due to injuries.
- The club has not won in their last nine home matches in the RPL (4 draws, 5 losses).
- The team has not scored more than once in 7 of their last 9 home Premier League games.
- Both teams scored in 7 of Akhmat's last 10 home league matches.
Dynamo Moscow
In the last round, Marcel Licka's side drew 1-1 away with Fakel. As a result, Dynamo extended their unbeaten run to five matches in the league, achieving their longest streak without a loss this RPL season (3 wins, 2 draws). The Moscow side has accumulated 31 points, placing them fifth in the standings. The team's offensive prowess is notable, with 32 goals scored in the current championship, trailing only Zenit and Krasnodar (34 each).
Defender Milan Majstorovic, along with midfielders Luka Gagnidze and Bitello, will miss the match due to injuries.
- The team has not lost in their last six away matches in the league (3 wins, 3 draws).
- At least four goals were scored in 4 of the club's last 6 away Premier League games.
- The Moscow side conceded in 13 of their last 16 away RPL matches.
Akhmat vs. Dynamo Moscow: Match Prediction
This Premier League season has been challenging for the Grozny side, primarily due to ongoing defensive issues. The backline lacks reliability, resulting in frequent concessions even at home: Akhmat has managed just one clean sheet at home in the current championship, and in five matches, they have conceded at least two goals.
The Moscow side focuses on attacking football and aims to take the initiative. Dynamo's offensive performance is impressive, including in away games: in 14 of their last 16 away Premier League encounters, the club has scored, with at least two goals in ten of those matches.
I anticipate another active performance from Marcel Licka's side, resulting in at least two goals. My prediction: Dynamo Moscow Individual Total Over 1.5
