Match Prediction: Krasnodar vs. Dynamo Moscow
Murad Musayev's side is on the brink of their first championship. To secure the title, they need to defeat Dynamo. This clear objective will push Krasnodar to attack and create chances, something they excel at. In their last 13 home league matches, Krasnodar failed to score only twice, netting at least two goals in nine of those games.
Expect Dynamo to be active in attack as well. The team has failed to score in just one away match this season, against Zenit. Additionally, they will be motivated to avenge last season's final round defeat to Krasnodar, which cost them the championship. The promise of increased bonuses for a win will further motivate Rolan Gusev's side.
Considering all factors, I anticipate an open game with goals from both sides. My prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
