Football Results

The last match in the 25th Russian Premier League brings us one of the many Moscow derbies, with the proviso that CSKA is the host and they are in third place on the table, while Dinamo is just one place above the relegation zone and has 17 points less than their city rivals. Otherwise, both teams still have not lost in this spring part of the season, but we still need to add that their match in the fall part ended without goals

CSKA Moscow

That is why we would not be surprised if something similar had happened in their next round, despite the fact that the host CSKA is much better placed on the table. However, behind the current vice-champion of Russia is a very heavy match in Europa League, where they were defeated in the first quarter-final duel with as much as 4-1 at London by Arsenal, so they will in three days play a rematch in Moscow where they will certainly have an extremely demanding task.

However, their placement in the quarter-finals is a good result for this team from Moscow, especially since they in the previous round after a big turnover managed to eliminate the French Lyon, while they in this second part of the home championship made as many wins in the three matches played and scored the same number of wins. And all this brought them back to the third place on the table, having three points less than Spartacus and five more than the leading Lokomotiv. We should also add that defenders Fernandes and Vasin are still injured.

Probable lineups CSKA Moscow: Akinfeev – V.Berezutski, Ignashevich, A.Berezutski – Nababkin, Dzagoev, Natcho, Golovin, Schennikov – Wernbloom, Musa

Dinamo Moscow

As for returnees to elite Russian society, Moscow's Dinamo, they did quite a good job at the start of the season, but then they fell into a major crisis and they were in the relegation zone for a while. However, with the arrival of coach Khokhlov, there are still a lot of things to do, so the team from Dinamo has not lost for five rounds, while their series of three wins and two draws has brought them the breakthrough on the 12th place on the table.

However, they have the same number of points as 13th Rostov, but they have one match less than them, while on the other hand the eighth Ural is currently only two points away, so everything is still open when it comes to the struggle for survival. This is because the 14th Anzhi and 15th Tosno are not too far behind for Dinamo, but the Muscovites are in far the best form of all the teams mentioned, primarily thanks to the great games in defence. We should also add that only their injured striker Terekhov is currently out of action.

Probable lineups Dinamo Moscow: Shunin – Kozlov, Rykov, Sunjic, Rausch – Cernych, Sow, Tetteh, Tashaev – Panchenko – Markov

Verdict:

Of course, the third CSKA is valid for the absolute favourite in this derby, but given that they are expecting a match against Arsenal in Europa League in just three days, and on the other hand, the team of Dinamo is in very good shape, then maybe it is the best to expect a small number of goals in this match.
