Rubin vs. Dynamo Moscow: Match Prediction
Kazan has struggled with finishing chances: the team has failed to score in 3 of their last 4 league matches. However, consider Rubin's opponents during this period. Krasnodar and Baltika are the top two for defensive reliability, and against Kaliningrad, the club missed a penalty. The upcoming opponent allows a lot at their goal, and at home, Rashid Rakhimov's side has scored in 13 of their last 15 Premier League matches.
Dynamo has conceded in their last 7 RPL matches, with at least two goals in 5 games during this period. Notably, away in this championship, Moscow has not kept a clean sheet, even conceding to Makhachkala. However, Valery Karpin's side looks good in attack, scoring in 6 consecutive Premier League matches. Moreover, the Moscow club has troubled Rubin's goalkeepers in six consecutive head-to-head meetings.
My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
