The matchday 21 fixture in the Russian Premier League between Rostov vs Dynamo Moscow will take place on 14 March at the Rostov Arena. Rostov vs Dynamo Moscow: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Rostov
Jonathan Alba's side avoided defeat against Baltika at the death last time out (1:1). That was Rostov's first draw in their last seven league matches (two wins, four defeats). It is also worth adding that the home team have scored in four consecutive Russian Premier League games, which is the club's longest scoring run of the current season. Even so, Rostov have a very modest goals tally – 17, and only Dinamo Makhachkala (10) and Pari Nizhny Novgorod (15) have looked worse in attack. In the overall standings, the team have climbed to 10th, and their lead over the relegation play-off zone stands at four points.
- No more than two goals were scored in 12 of Rostov's previous 14 Premier League games.
- On home soil in this tournament, the team have avoided defeat in seven of their last nine matches (three wins, four draws).
- Rostov conceded in four of their last five home league games.
Potential Rostov Lineup (4-3-3)
Rustam Yatimov – Ilya Vakhaniya, Viktor Melekhin, David Semenchuk, Umar Sako – Ronaldo, Aleksey Mironov, Ivan Komarov – Mohammad Mohebi, Timur Suleymanov, Egor Golenkov.
Dynamo Moscow
The capital club thrashed CSKA Moscow last time out (4:1). It is worth noting that this is only the second time in their history that Dynamo Moscow have beaten the Army Men by such a large margin. The team are unbeaten in three league matches (two wins, one draw), matching the Moscow side's longest unbeaten run of the current season. Dynamo Moscow's scoring streak has also reached six games. In the standings, Rolan Gusev's men have climbed to seventh, while their lead over the relegation play-off zone has increased to nine points.
- At least three goals were scored in five of Dynamo Moscow's last six Premier League matches.
- On the road in this tournament, the team failed to win four of their last five games (two draws, two defeats).
- The club conceded in 18 of their previous 19 away Russian Premier League matches.
Potential Dynamo Moscow Lineup (4-5-1)

Rostov vs Dynamo Moscow: Match Prediction
Since 2007, the Moscow side have not recorded three successive big wins. In addition to their goalscoring exploits in the league, Rolan Gusev's men also swept Spartak Moscow aside in the national cup. In the first half of the season, Dynamo Moscow struggled against the Rostov outfit, but still managed to find the net once. In the upcoming meeting, goals should come far more easily for the capital club. Moreover, the visitors scored in five of their last seven away Russian Premier League matches, and over that run they suffered only two defeats (three wins, two draws).
Jonathan Alba has a real headache on his hands when it comes to stopping the opposition attack, especially given that the Rostov side conceded in seven of their previous nine league matches, including against teams with modest attacking numbers. What is more, in three official matches since the season resumed, the club allowed 17 clear-cut chances to be created against them. Dynamo Moscow, meanwhile, have produced a simply fantastic conversion rate in their last three games – 57%. That factor should help the away side take points, particularly as Rostov failed to win five of their previous six home Russian Premier League matches (three draws, two defeats).
Prediction: Dynamo Moscow, double chance + Dynamo Moscow to score
