FC Moscow v Dynamo Moscow match preview

This is a fascinating match and it’ll be interesting how the Dynamo Moscow midfield steps-up with the departure of playmaker Danni to Zenit. They have had many problems scoring and his loss will certainly create many attacking problems however their run of play cannot be ignored and are heavy favourites to take this match. Alternatively FC Moscow is coming off a brilliant mid-week 2-0 victory of Leiga Warsaw in UEFA Cup qualifiers but will be fatiqued.

The White-Blues have shown me the ability to win the league but they need to win these tough matches and avoid mental errors that cost them points like last week. Their midfield of the Kombarov brothers, Krill and Dmitri, Dmitri Kombarov and Igor Semshov is one of the best in the game and Aleksandr Kerzhakov will need to rise to the occasion in the attack if they are to overtake Kazan.

This is an exciting match, with a lot in-play to be considered (i.e. under, Dynamo keeping clean-sheet run in-take) as well. I will post a full review once it concludes. For those watching with special interests, please comment.
