Match Prediction: Krylia Sovetov vs. Dynamo Moscow
The opponents met in the group stage of the previous edition of the tournament. Both encounters were high-scoring affairs – 5-1, 6-3. Recent matches for both teams have also been goal-rich. Samara has scored in 7 of their 8 matches this season, but Magomed Adiev's side has only kept a clean sheet once, against Pari NN, a team not known for their scoring prowess. In the Russian Cup, at least three goals have been scored in 6 of Krylia Sovetov's last 7 matches.
Moscow's team thrashed Nizhny Novgorod in the last RPL round, which should boost their confidence. Expectations for good results from Dynamo have been high. However, before facing Pari NN, Valery Karpin's side had conceded in 5 consecutive official matches. Moreover, playing with a non-main squad in both Russian Cup matches, Moscow's team conceded six goals. Nevertheless, Dynamo regularly scores in the national cup, netting in 10 of their last 12 matches.
My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
