Akhmat vs. Dynamo Moscow: Match Prediction
A little over a month has passed since the teams last met. In the first round, the opponents drew (2-2), with Moscow equalizing in added time. Since then, Grozny has suffered four consecutive league defeats, and Dynamo has changed their head coach. I believe the capital club currently has a psychological advantage, which they should confirm on the field.
During their winless streak, Akhmat not only lost to Rubin, who also have their issues, but also to relegation-battling Sochi, losing at home. Grozny's defensive actions have not been reliable even after Stanislav Cherchesov's appointment, and the club's defensive problems are now particularly acute: Akhmat conceded at least two goals in 5 of their last 6 RPL matches.
Dynamo scored three goals against Makhachkala in the last round, a team that rarely concedes more than one goal. If Moscow found ways to break down such a defense, Rolan Gusev's side is unlikely to have difficulties in the finishing stages against Grozny. My prediction: Dynamo will not lose and Total over 1.5 goals
