The Matchday 6 clash of the FONBET Russian Cup 2025/26 between Dynamo Moscow and Krylia Sovetov will take place on October 22 at the VTB Arena. Dynamo Moscow vs. Krylia Sovetov: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Dynamo Moscow
Valery Karpin's side suffered a 0-0 draw and a 2-4 loss on penalties to Krasnodar in the previous round. However, in regular time, the Moscow team remains unbeaten in three Russian Cup matches (1 win, 2 draws). During this period, Dynamo has not conceded a single goal, with only six goals against them overall, a record only bettered by Krasnodar (5) in Group B. Regardless of the outcome, the team will continue to compete for the trophy, but a win will secure their place in the RPL Path.
- At least one opponent failed to score in 5 of Dynamo's last 7 Russian Cup matches.
- At home, the Moscow team has not won in 4 of their last 5 matches in this tournament (2 draws and 2 losses in regular time).
- The team has conceded in 7 of their last 8 home games in the Russian Cup.
Predicted lineup for Dynamo Moscow (4-5-1)
Kurbon Rasulov – Nicolas Marichal, Dmitry Skopintsev, Juan Caceres, Roberto Fernandez – Bitello, Mumi Ngamale, Anton Miranchuk, Ulvi Babaev, Daniil Fomin – Konstantin Tyukavin.
Injured players include goalkeeper Andrey Lunev, defender Milan Majstorovic, forwards Denis Makarov, Artur Gomes, Mumi Ngamale, as well as midfielders Anton Miranchuk and Luis Chavez.
Krylia Sovetov
The Samara team defeated Sochi 3-3, winning 5-4 on penalties in the previous round. However, in regular time, the team has not won in four Russian Cup matches (3 draws, 1 loss). Notably, Krylia Sovetov consistently scores, having found the net in 8 of their last 9 matches in this tournament. To advance to the RPL Path playoffs, Magomed Aliyev's side needs to earn at least two points in the upcoming game.
- At least three goals have been scored in 8 of Samara's last 10 Russian Cup matches.
- The team has conceded in 12 consecutive away games in this tournament.
- Away in the Russian Cup, the club has not won in 5 of their last 6 matches (1 draw and 4 losses in 90 minutes).
Predicted lineup for Krylia Sovetov (4-3-3)
Nikita Kokarev – Roman Evgeniev, Nikita Chernov, Ivan Lepskiy, Nikolay Rasskazov – Mikhailo Banjac, Dmitry Ivanisenya, Kirill Pechenin – Ilzat Akhmetov, Jimmy Marin, Vladimir Ignatenko.

Dynamo Moscow vs. Krylia Sovetov: Match Prediction
After the first-round match, the teams played another game in the Premier League in Samara, where the Moscow club took three points (3-2). Valery Karpin's side needs a positive result in the upcoming match, and I believe Dynamo will achieve it. They have been successful against Krylia Sovetov, winning 6 of their last 7 official encounters, including three matches in the Russian Cup, so possible squad rotation should not hinder the hosts.
The Samara team is going through a rough patch. Magomed Adiev's side has lost 4 of their last 6 official matches. Their highlights include draws with Orenburg, where they equalized five minutes before the end of regular time, and Sochi, but even against such an opponent, they allowed three goals. Krylia Sovetov has significant defensive issues and has conceded in 12 consecutive away games in the Russian Cup. Additionally, several defenders are injured. Considering that even a loss will keep Samara in the race for the trophy, the visitors are unlikely to give it their all.
My prediction: Dynamo Moscow to win and Total Over 1.5
