A domestic cup game like the Russian Cup brings Krasnodar up against Dinamo Moskva at a time when the two teams have just come off very different league results. Krasnodar drew 1-1, while Dinamo Moskva have just lost 1-3 to the same league opponent, so their form looks clearly different ahead of this match. Krasnodar have not won any of their last 5 matches, but they drew 3 of those and have scored in every recent game, even though their defence has conceded in every match. As for Dinamo Moskva, they won 4 of their last 5 before stumbling in the most recent game. Their attack can still be trusted, but their defence is starting to show cracks. The game is likely to be open with both sides trading blows in midfield. The two teams have had similar possession in their last 10 matches (Krasnodar 59.6% compared to 56.1%) and create chances from shots on target at a similar rate. The first half may still be tense because both sides average less than a goal in the first half, but the second half should open up more as the cup tie forces them to chase goals.
