Dinamo is having a good season, winning Russian championship medals, but they have been unable to win any significant trophy for almost three decades. They fall apart and fail as soon as they get close to winning the cup or the national championship. They came out of the winter break in top form, beating Lokomotiv and Akhmat 2:1 and 2:0 to close the gap to the leaders to two points, but a 4:1 defeat to Rostov prevented them from moving into first place. At least Marcel Licka's wards continue their run in the Russian Cup, beating SKA-Khabarovsk 2:1 this week.

Spartak made a strong start to the current season, but the Muscovites were only good enough for three rounds, after which their results dropped sharply. They only managed to return to a decent level during the winter break, when they managed three wins in four matches. During such a long break, Spartak lost their good form, and in the spring, they showed mediocre football quality. In the Premier League, they drew 0:0 with Zenit and Ural and lost 2:0 to Fakel, slipping to sixth place in the standings. In the Russian Cup, Guillermo Abascal's wards reached the semi-final of the RPL. Still, they suffered a disappointing 2:1 defeat in their first home match against Zenit despite the Muscovites opening the scoring.

Dinamo's current Premier League campaign has been much more successful than Spartak's. Marcel Licka's wards have three points at the top of the table, and they are still fighting for their long-awaited league title. The red-whites aren't even in the race for the top three. They are six points behind. Moreover, Guillermo Abascal's team has only scored twice in the three rounds since the winter break. The visitors' problems are evident, and Dinamo must take advantage of them in the upcoming derby.

Dinamo and Spartak always try to play open and dominant football. They don't always succeed, but problems often arise in matches where the opponent retreats into defense. This scenario is unlikely to be the one we can expect in the derby, as both teams will try to possess the ball so that the game will be played on the counter-attack. The statistics suggest that Dinamo and Spartak scored 19 goals (an average of 3.17 per game) in their six previous games.
