Match prediction: Dynamo Makhachkala – Pari NN
Hasanbi Bijiev's side finish the calendar year with fixtures against two of the division’s lower-ranked teams. They earned a point against Sochi without needing to score, creating only three clear chances and recording an xG of 0.96. Dynamo are enduring a second stretch of three games without finding the net, and even at home they have struggled to finish chances — the team has scored more than one goal in only one of their last 10 home Premier League matches.
Before the last round, Pari NN were the worst away team in the current championship: they had collected no points on the road and scored just once. The visitors allow a lot around their penalty area, but Dynamo are unlikely to give them that space. Only Krasnodar have managed to score more than once against Dynamo at their ground.
All three league meetings between these sides have produced no more than two goals, which supports the prediction: Total under 2.5
