Match Prediction: Dynamo Moscow vs. Orenburg
At home, Dynamo tends to take the initiative and dominate. As a result, the team often secures victories: Dynamo has been stronger than their opponents in 10 of their last 13 home Premier League matches, including wins over Zenit and Lokomotiv. It's also worth noting that in their last three home league matches, Dynamo won convincingly with a total score of 11-2.
Orenburg cannot boast good away performances in the RPL: the last time the team collected three points on the road was at the start of last season. Furthermore, the club's current away losing streak stands at six matches, and in their last eight away league encounters, Orenburg players have scored just one goal.
I believe Marcel Licka's side will secure a confident victory over Orenburg. My prediction: Dynamo Moscow with a handicap (-1.5)
