Command Analysis
Dinamo Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent Form
As the season kicks off, Dynamo is viewed as a title contender after narrowly missing out on the Premier League trophy last year under Marcela Lichka's management. With a strong roster, the team set high expectations, though their rivals have also bolstered their squads during the summer break.
However, the first third of the championship revealed that Dynamo has yet to fully live up to its status while managing to avoid a complete collapse. With 20 points, they sit fourth in the league, four points behind Krasnodar and Lokomotiv, while Zenit is three points ahead. Close on their heels are Spartak and CSKA, intensifying the competition for the upcoming matches.
Dynamo faced a challenging draw in the Cup, with formidable opponents like Spartak, Makhachkala Dynamo, and Krylya Sovetov. After four rounds, Dynamo ranks second in their group with eight points, just one behind Spartak, while Makhachkala Dynamo is also within striking distance.
Injuries and Suspensions
Fernandes is currently suspended. Injuries have sidelined Chavez and Grulev.
Betting Trends
- Dynamo has remained unbeaten in their last six matches, with three wins and three draws
- Dynamo has scored in each of their last six matches

Spartak Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent Form
After struggling in recent seasons, Spartak was determined to turn things around this year and aim for at least a spot in the top three. To achieve this, Dejan Stankovic was brought in as head coach and the team managed to strengthen their lineup. Although Spartak's transfer campaign was not as high-profile or extensive as Zenit's, the squad they assembled certainly had the potential to compete for silverware.
However, starting the season strong proved difficult as Spartak faced a defeat in their opener and made several errors in the subsequent matches. At this point, it's hard to consider the red-and-whites as contenders for high positions, currently sitting in sixth place. They trail both Krasnodar and Lokomotiv by eight points, with CSKA, Dynamo, and Zenit all positioned above them in the standings.
In the Cup, the situation is somewhat better as Spartak leads their group after four rounds. However, they have not yet secured a playoff spot in the RPL, with Moscow's Dynamo just one point behind and Dynamo Makhachkala trailing by two points. With Krylia Sovetov having been eliminated from contention for third place, concerns about Cup elimination seem unfounded.
Injuries and Suspensions
Chernov and Medina are currently injured.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Spartak has not won in their last two matches - one loss and one draw
- The team conceded goals in their last four matches
- Spartak scored in their last five matches
Projected Lineup: Selikhov - Khlusevich, Litvinov, Abena, Mangash - Prutsev, Martins, Zobnin - Zinkovsky, Nicholson, Marquinhos.

2.35Tip and bets
Spartak faced a disappointing defeat in the derby against Lokomotiv, lacking any chance of winning, and previously dropped points against Dynamo Makhachkala. A series of setbacks will surely galvanize the Red-Whites and they'll be highly motivated today. Dynamo has another derby against CSKA in the Premier League coming up in a few days, likely prioritizing that match since their current group situation allows for some margin for error. This gives reason to lean towards Spartak.
We believe the visitors have a stronger chance of winning. Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Spartak. This bet is available with odds of 1.69.
Total Bet
Spartak is undoubtedly focused on securing a win today. Despite some recent setbacks, the red-and-whites have shown they can bounce back and will certainly aim to avoid mistakes in this pivotal derby match. Dynamo’s defense has its vulnerabilities, and while there may be significant player rotations, it’s unlikely that they will abandon their aggressive style of play, paving the way for a high-scoring match.
Bet suggestion - total over three goals. This bet is offered at odds of 1.89.
Combined Bet
Recently, Spartak put forth an impressive performance in the derby against Dynamo, narrowly missing out on a certain victory in the final seconds. While there will be room for rotation today, Spartak's bench depth is solid, and Dynamo is expected to make numerous substitutions before their derby against CSKA. Spartak has the chance to avenge their loss to Lokomotiv and can realistically be counted on to win in a high-scoring affair.
Bet suggestion - Spartak to win and total over 2.5 goals. This bet is available at 3.10.
