The matchday 19 fixture in the MIR Russian Premier League between Dynamo Moscow and Krylya Sovetov Samara will take place on 1 March at the VTB Arena in Moscow. Dynamo Moscow vs Krylya Sovetov Samara: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Dynamo Moscow
Dynamo Moscow endured a poor run before the winter break. The Moscow club sits 10th in the main standings, only six points clear of the relegation play-off zone. The hosts have just one win in their last eight league matches (three draws, four defeats), although they found the net in six games during that spell. Small consolation comes from being the highest-scoring club among the teams in the bottom half of the table. Even in seven pre-season friendlies, the home side won only twice (three draws, two defeats).
- Both teams scored in nine of Dynamo Moscow’s last 11 Premier League matches.
- At home, the team have failed to win four of their last five league matches (two draws, two defeats).
- In five of their last six home matches in this tournament, the Moscow club scored at least twice.
Rolan Gusev will continue to lead the team, now no longer as caretaker. Dynamo Moscow have signed defender David Ricardo and parted ways with forward Denis Makarov.
Potential Dynamo Moscow Lineup (4-3-3)
Andrey Lunev – Maksim Osipenko, Dmitriy Skopintsev, Nicolas Marichal, Roberto Fernandez – Rubens Dias, Daniil Fomin, Bitello – Mumi Ngamaleu, Konstantin Tyukavin, Ivan Sergeev.

Krylya Sovetov Samara
Krylya Sovetov Samara are in an even worse position. The Samara club sit 12th, just two points above the relegation play-off zone. Krylya Sovetov Samara have recorded only four wins (five draws, nine defeats), with three of those victories coming at home. Only in those matches did they keep a clean sheet. With 33 goals conceded, Magomed Adiev’s side have the second-worst defence in the league. They also allowed plenty of chances in pre-season, but still managed to win four of six friendlies (two defeats).
- In five of the Samara club’s previous six Russian Premier League matches, at least one team failed to score.
- Away from home in this tournament, the Volga side are on a run of six straight defeats.
- In their last five away matches in the Premier League, the team have failed to score a single goal.

Dynamo Moscow vs Krylya Sovetov Samara: Match Prediction
One of the hosts’ few wins in this league season came away against the Samara club. In the upcoming match, Dynamo Moscow can also reasonably expect to take points. At home, the team avoided defeat in 15 of their previous 18 Russian Premier League matches (10 wins, five draws), with the only two losses coming against CSKA Moscow and Lokomotiv Moscow. Those opponents have produced far more impressive results than Krylya Sovetov Samara, who have lost six straight away matches. Moreover, the Samara club last took points from a match in Moscow back in 2021.
Rolan Gusev has still not managed to fully fix Dynamo Moscow’s defensive issues, although the team have made fewer costly mistakes. The visitors should also have their chances, as their league position will push them to play on the front foot. However, the Moscow club also need to climb the table, and we expect the hosts to attack with purpose. In addition, the home side have looked sharp going forward on their own patch, scoring at least twice in five of their last six Premier League matches.
Prediction: Dynamo Moscow double chance + Over 2.5 goals
