Betting Insights
- Dinamo’s defence has kept things fairly tight on the road this term, conceding 1.17 goals per game, but their average of 1.50 goals per away game suggests they can find a way through against Nizhny.
- We’re getting behind the over/under and BTTS markets, where we feel they offer good value for the reasons outlined above.
- The odds for a Dinamo win at 1.89 are a shade too short for our tastes.
Prediction
- This is a clash that could be a chess match between two clubs that are trying to do similar things.
- Nizhny Novgorod will look to press Dinamo into mistakes and get players forward, while the visitors will look to stay compact and hit their opponents on the break.
- We’re expecting both sides to score and over 2.5 goals on Saturday.
- The away team will like their chances of getting a win on the board in this one, especially given they have the superior head-to-head history and have a better scoring record on the road.
