Rubin Kazan vs. Dynamo Moscow: Match Prediction
Rubin Kazan has shown some issues with finishing chances, failing to score in 3 of their last 4 league matches. It's worth noting their opponents during this stretch: Krasnodar and Baltika are top two in defensive reliability, and against Kaliningrad, the club missed a penalty. Rubin's upcoming opponent allows more opportunities at their goal, and at home, Rashid Rakhimov's side has scored in 13 of their last 15 Premier League games.
Dynamo has conceded in 7 consecutive RPL matches, with at least two goals allowed in 5 games during this period. Notably, away from home this season, the Moscow side has not kept a clean sheet, even allowing a goal against Makhachkala. However, Valery Karpin's team currently looks good in attack, scoring in 6 consecutive Premier League matches. The Moscow club has also scored against Rubin in 6 consecutive personal encounters.
My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
