The Matchday 15 clash in the Russian Premier League between Dynamo Moscow and Akron will take place on November 8 at the VTB Arena. Dynamo Moscow vs. Akron: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Dynamo Moscow
Valery Karpin's side shared the spoils with Rubin in a goalless draw in their last away match. The Moscow team is currently on a four-match winless streak in the Premier League (2 draws, 2 losses), marking their longest such run in the current championship. Notably, Dynamo kept a clean sheet for the first time in their last eight RPL matches. On the other hand, before the Kazan game, the club had scored in six consecutive matches in this tournament. In the overall standings, the Moscow team occupies 8th place.
- Both teams scored in 6 of Dynamo's last 7 Premier League matches.
- The club has not won in 5 of their last 7 home league games (3 draws, 2 losses).
- The team scored exactly 1 or 2 goals in 8 of their last 10 home matches in this tournament.
Predicted lineup for Dynamo Moscow (4-3-3)

Akron
In their last match, Togliatti's side defeated Rostov 1-0 away. This marks only the third victory for the team in the current championship (6 draws, 5 losses), yet they approach the upcoming match with a four-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League. Notably, against Rostov, Akron kept a clean sheet for only the third time in the RPL 2025/26, with only five teams having a worse record. Thanks to the three points, the club climbed to 10th place in the standings.
- The team has not scored more than one goal in 11 of their last 12 league matches.
- Togliatti has not drawn in their last 5 away league matches (2 wins, 3 losses).
- In 11 of their last 13 away matches in this tournament, Akron did not concede more than two goals.
Predicted lineup for Akron (4-5-1)
Vitaliy Gudiev – Roberto Fernandez, Rodrigo Escoval, Jomar Rocha, Marat Bokoev – Khetag Khosonov, Maxim Kuzmin, Stefan Loncar, Benshimol, Kristijan Bistrovic – Artem Dzyuba.
Defender Ionuts Nedelcharu is suspended.
Dynamo Moscow vs. Akron: Match Prediction
Togliatti's side is in decent form. For the second time in the current championship, the team has not lost in four matches, but the current unbeaten run is more impressive. During this streak, Zaur Tedeev's side took points from Zenit and Lokomotiv, while Rostov had not lost in the RPL since mid-August before the last round. Additionally, in their last 13 away Premier League matches, the club suffered 6 losses, but 4 of them were by a minimal margin.
Moscow has only achieved 4 wins in the current championship, convincingly defeating only the team at the bottom of the table, Pari NN. Valery Karpin's side had a challenging period in the RPL, where Dynamo earned two points, managing to avoid defeat against Akhmat thanks to a stoppage-time goal. Also, the Moscow team continues to compete in the Russian Cup, which, with a crowded injury list, will not bode well for the players' condition.
I believe the visitors can maintain a positive handicap. My prediction: Akron with a handicap (+1.5)
