Krylia Sovetov – Dynamo M

Dynamo seem superior to Samara in most components

Krylia Sovetov will take on Dynamo at home in the fourth round of the Russian Football League. The match will take place on Sunday, 7 August. Dynamo are hardly happy with their start to the Russian championship. Considering the opponents, the team could count on nine points, but in the end they have only five. The Muscovites have huge problems in defense, as evidenced by the match with Fakel. Dynamo managed to concede three goals in Voronezh, although they were winning 2-0. "The Blues have no significant problems in attack. They have scored eight goals in three rounds. Four of them were scored by Fedor Smolov. The forward is in great form. The unfortunate news for the club is Fomin's injury. The midfielder will miss the match in Samara. Coach Jokanovic has difficulties with the squad, but it is the depth in attack that gives Dynamo a clear advantage in most RPL matches. Even Konstantin Tyukavin has very little game practice at the moment. In fact, Dynamo can use two different options in attack under each half. Krylya Sovetov have had a difficult summer. The club lost almost its entire attacking squad. Maxim Glushenkov helps out so far. He is not just the main, but the only strengthening of the Samara squad. Igor Osinkin is rebuilding the game in attack. Now, without Sergei Pinyayev as well. The main wunderkind of Russian football is injured. As a result, Samara's offensive potential has significantly diminished. There was also a lack of confidence in the defensive line. Goalkeeper Lomaev has already made a mistake. The significant drop in the quality of play was evident in the meeting between Krylia and Torpedo. The match was almost equal, with a slight advantage for the home side. Samara lost points at home to one of the worst clubs in the league. Even Torpedo had three or four scoring chances in the match. The bookmakers' quotes are somewhat surprising. The line has almost equal odds, although Dynamo are obviously higher in class. The Muscovites have problems with their squad, but Samara have a crisis with their players. Osinkin has almost no quality performers in the rotation to strengthen the game under the RPL. It is possible that the last encounter between the two teams is affecting the odds. Back then, Krylia Sovetov defeated Dynamo 5-2 in Samara. At the same time, Anton Zinkovskiy was the star player in that game. At the moment, Samara have a different squad. Motivated Dynamo with their leader Smolov looks preferable. Jokanovic's team are certainly going for three points and will not sit tight in defence.
