Rubin vs Dynamo: the battle for Europa League
In their first match this season, Rubin beat Dynamo, but will the White-blues take revenge on May 1? You will find the answer in our prediction. What to expect from the game?

Command Analysis

Rubin Kazan

Rubin are having quite a good season - the team of Leonid Slutsky is one of the main contenders for the European cups. At the moment, Rubin Kazan is on the fourth line of the standings with 46 points. However, their closest rivals, who occupy three lines just below Rubin (Sochi, CSKA, and Dynamo) are ranked lower only on goal difference.
Last week, Rubin quite unexpectedly lost 0:1 to Krasnodar, interrupting a series of three victories.

Dinamo Moscow

Dynamo also have plans for Europe - Sandro Schwartz's team is currently on the seventh line in the table. But the White-blues are behind the fourth Rubin only due to additional indicators, and so are CSKA and Sochi. So many teams with the same number of points make the competition for Top-4 more exciting for us, but makes it more complicated for Dynamo.
In the last round, Dynamo lost 0:1 to Khimki, which was their first defeat in the last five rounds of the league.

Tip and bets
Rubin played very poorly against Krasnodar in the last round and showed that they have plenty of problems and weaknesses. Dynamo also stumbled in the last game, but at the same time the White-blues dominated the field, and the loss to Khimki was more bad luck than weak performance. Dynamo look stronger, and, in our opinion, it is better to give preference to them. We believe that guests have a better chance of winning.
Our first bet is Asian handicap (0) to Dynamo.
The game is of key importance for both teams, so we shouldn't expect open football from the first minutes. Both Rubin and Dynamo put their main hopes in defense, so the game is unlikely to have many goals.
Our second bet will be on total under 2.5 goals.
