Dynamo Moscow vs Dynamo Makhachkala Prediction & Betting Tips (14 August)

Dynamo Moscow have been pretty abject on their Russian Cup travels in last season, winning only twice and suffering 11 defeats along the way. A trip to high-flying Dynamo Moscow is hardly likely to snap them out of their season-long slumber, with their coach charges picking up 16 points from the last 18 available in front of their own supporters.

Dynamo Moscow have featured five times on their own patch since booking a place at the top table of the Russian Cup, with four of these matches delivering under 3.5 goals. Ahead of their Monday night trip, 19 of the last 20 Dynamo Makhachkala away games in the top-flight had also served up three goals or fewer, so it is hard to see this pattern changing when the sides meet.

High-flying Dynamo Moscow are one of the most exciting sides to watch in the Russian Cup at the moment, as they have both scored and conceded during the same 90 minutes in 14 of their previous 17 matches. Given that Dynamo Makhachkala have done the same in seven of their last eight away games at this level, it would come as a bit of a surprise were either keeper to pitch a shutout.
