Which team will come out victorious in the fierce Moscow derby between Dynamo Moscow and CSKA?
It's goin' down on August 19th at 3 PM local time, as Dynamo Moscow and arch-rivals CSKA lock horns in a highly-anticipated clash at the VTB Arena in Moscow.
Dynamo Moscow
With a wingspan like an eagle and a knack for delieving when it matters most, Dynamo has been scoring left, right, and center. Their current form is no joke—they've clawed their way to victories in their last three encounters. In the 2nd round of the Russian Cup, they outmaneuvered Krasnodar 4:3, and they also showed their prowess in the national league, besting Baltika 2:0 at home. Granted, they started off a bit shaky, but they regrouped and sealed the deal in the second half, with Bessmertny and Makarov bagging the goals.
Currently, they're early in the race, sitting comfortably in 6th position in the standings with 7 points and a narrow goal difference of 9:8.
CSKA
Known for their lethal long shots and set-piece artistry, CSKA has been making heads turn. They might have stumbled in the Russian Cup, falling to Fakel 0:2, but they bounced back impressively in their last league match, walloping Sochi 3:1 at home. The victory was a hard-fought one, as they struggled to break through the leopards' defense until the final minutes. Goals were scored by Zabavolnyi and Ryadno, with a fortunate own goal contributing to the scoreline.
Right now, they're in 3rd place in the RPL with 9 points and a magnificent goal difference of 11:6.
Interesting Facts
CSKA has seen over 2.5 goals in 9 out of their last 10 matches in the Russian Championship (odds: 1.76). The army men havealso scored at least 3 goals in their last three league matches. If you're a fan of betting on CSKA, 1.76 looks like a nice payday.
