- Home form: Akron Tolyatti have won one, drawn six and lost four of their 11 home games in the Premier League 2025/2026.
- Away form: Dinamo Moscow have won four, drawn three and lost four of their 11 away fixtures, conceding 12 goals.
- Head-to-head: The head-to-head record is level at one win apiece, with Akron Tolyatti winning 2-1 away five months ago in the Premier League 2025/2026.
Stylistic clash could result in plenty of goals
This is likely to be an open game between two teams who have contrasting styles and contrasting recent form. Akron Tolyatti have won none, drawn one and lost four of their last five matches, while Dinamo Moscow have won one, drawn two and lost two.
They like to set up in a 4-3-3 formation and press high up the field, looking to force turnovers and play fast and direct in transition.
This approach has caused them a few problems, however, as they are easy to catch out at the back. Zaur Tedeyev, who has been in charge since December 2023, has instilled a high-tempo, pressing philosophy and they need to be on the ball to beat Dinamo, who are more likely to work the ball patiently and look to exploit space by suddenly changing the tempo.
Dinamo’s positional play can get the better of Akron
Manager and tactics
Dinamo Moscow have been a lot more entertaining since Rolan Gusev took over in November 2025. He is tactically flexible, willing to play with two strikers and can mix up the team well to try to catch opponents out.
Form and recent matches
His team sit eighth in the Premier League 2025/2026 table with 31 points from 23 games while Akron are 11th with 22 points from the same number of fixtures. Dinamo have drawn their last two matches, 3-3 with Gazovik Orenburg in the league and 0-0 in the Cup against FK Krasnodar, but their away record is four wins, three draws and four losses in 2025/2026.
A high-scoring game looks likely, so take Over 2.5 Goals at 1.46 and both teams to score at 1.47. Dinamo are likely to outgun Akron, so take the away win at 1.81.
- Akron Tolyatti have won just one of their 11 Premier League 2025/2026 games at home, where they average 1.18 goals scored and 1.55 conceded.
- Konstantin Tyukavin has scored three of Dinamo’s last four goals and has a clinical edge in the box that Akron have been lacking, but they do have in-form Maxim Boldyrev, who has two of the last six to his name.
