Rostov
- Rostov have won three of their last five.
- Rostov have only played two home matches in the Premier League 2026/2027, but they are unbeaten on home turf, winning one and drawing one.
- Jonatan Alba has had Rostov organized since February 26, 2025, with a flexible setup that leans on aggressive pressing and fast transitions.
Dynamo Moscow
- Dynamo Moscow, 3rd in the Premier League 2026-2027 with 13 points from seven games, are the bookies' favourites ahead of FC Rostov, who are 10th with eight points from the same number of matches, at the Rostov Arena on Thursday.
- Dynamo have won four of their last five matches.
- Dynamo have conceded five goals in three away games in the Premier League 2026/2027.
Head-to-Head
- The Yellow-Blues will be looking for revenge after Dynamo nicked a 1-0 win the last time these sides met in the Premier League 2025/2026, which was played six months ago in Rostov.
- That clash of styles should ensure Thursday's match is a chess game with plenty of pressing duels and little space in midfield.
Key Players
- Timur Suleymanov is the Yellow-Blues' leading goalscorer in the league with two goals from seven appearances, but his work rate gives them an edge up top.
- Anton Miranchuk has two goals in six appearances and plenty of creativity between the lines.
- Konstantin Tyukavin is in fine form for Dynamo with three goals in the last five, which they scored a total of nine.
Betting Insights
That clash of styles should ensure Thursday's match is a chess game with plenty of pressing duels and little space in midfield, so the under 2.5 goals line at 1.86 and both teams to score at 1.77 could be good options.
Prediction
We think they are more likely to nick it, but Rostov 's unbeaten home record and momentum make this feel close, so we will take the draw .
