The Matchday 6 fixture of the FONBET 2025/26 between Dinamo Moscow and Krylia Sovetov will take place on October 22 at the VTB Arena. Here’s a preview for Dinamo Moscow vs. Krylia Sovetov, including a prediction, betting odds, and statistics.

Dinamo Moscow Current Form

Valery Karpin’s charges suffered an away defeat to Krasnodar (0-0, 2-4 on penalties) in the previous round. However, in regular time, the Muscovites have remained unbeaten in their last 3 matches (1 win, 2 draws). During this impressive run, Dinamo have also kept a clean sheet, and they’ve conceded only 6 goals in total in the tournament, a better defensive record in Group B than only Krasnodar (5). A victory in this match would secure their place in the RPL Path of the competition, although they will continue their trophy bid regardless.

Overall Match Prediction

Following their first-round encounter, these opponents also met in a Premier League match in Samara, where the Moscow club secured a 3-2 victory. Valery Karpin’s side will be eager for another positive result in this upcoming fixture, and I believe Dinamo will achieve it. The Muscovites have an excellent record against Krylia Sovetov, having won 6 of their last 7 official head-to-head matches. Notably, three of these encounters were in the , suggesting that potential squad rotation should not hinder the hosts.

Krylia Sovetov’s Struggles and Defensive Woes

The Samara team is currently going through a rough patch. Magomed Aliev’s side has lost 4 of their last 6 official matches. Their only positive results in this period were draws against Orenburg, where they managed to equalize five minutes from full-time, and Sochi, a team they still allowed to score three times. Krylia Sovetov has significant defensive issues, especially on the road in the national Cup, where they have conceded in 12 consecutive matches. Furthermore, the club has several injured defenders. Considering that even a defeat would keep them in contention for the trophy, it’s unlikely the visitors will play at their absolute maximum.

My Betting Pick

My prediction is ‘Dinamo Moscow Win and Over 1.5 Goals’.
