Spartak vs Dinamo Prediction: Waiting for an Eventful Derby

Prediction for the Russian Premier League game between Spartak Moscow vs Dinamo Moscow, which will take place on September 23d. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Spartak is trying to gradually escape the crisis in which the capital team suddenly found itself after a trip to Ekaterinburg. They beat Ural 2:1 but, in the end, conceded twice and lost 2:3. After that, the Reds and Whites lost to Zenit, 1:3, drew with Akhmat - 0:0, and lost to Krasnodar - 2:0. Only in the last round they claimed a victory over Sochi, 1:0, thanks to a goal by Srdjan Babic in the 91st minute. So they moved up to sixth place in the standings. Guillermo Abascal's men also defeated Paris NN 3:0 in the FONBET Cup of Russia this week, securing the top spot in Group D.

Dinamo looks great in the current RPL, combining good results with bright and spectacular football. Their only defeat so far came in the first round, when they lost 3:1 at home to Krasnodar. Since then, the team sealed three draws and won four times. This is still enough to share third place in the championship standings with Krylia Sovetov. Last week, Marcel Licka's men faced Krasnodar in the FONBET Cup of Russia. Still, they failed to avenge their Premier League defeat - a 2:1 penalty shootout defeat left them second in Group D.

Spartak and Dinamo met less than a month ago in the FONBET Cup. The Reds and Whites defeated their opponents 4:1, scoring four unanswered goals by the 24th minute of the match. This match once again confirmed that Guillermo Abascal's charges could have any troubles, but such a mood for the derby - a huge argument in their favor. The hosts should have a better chance of success in the upcoming battle. With the right level of motivation, they will leave no chance for the Whites and Blues. 

Spartak has been entertaining the local crowd with bright and productive football lately. There were exceptions against Sochi and Akhmat, but the opponent was underestimated in those matches. Of course, there will be no such thing in the derby. In the last seven H2H meetings, the Red and Whites scored 15 goals (average 2.14). At the same time, the Whites and Blues have conceded 13 goals in six away games this season (average 2.17).
