- Mihajlo Banjac has 1 assist in 3 Premier League 2026/2027 games and has a bit of craftiness to play between the lines.

Dynamo will be wary of Krylia’s bite
Tactical battle:
Sandro Schwarz has done a good job since taking over on 1 June 2026, Dynamo sit higher in the table and they're more compact than usual. They play in a compact mid-block, and break forward on the wings, this could be a chess match that is decided in the transitions. The hosts have a bit more of a bite and Dynamo will be very wary of them.
Odds and prediction:
Kryliya are the minors faves at 2.39 with Dynamo coming in at 3.08 and the draw at 3.35. Kryliya have the home advantage and the head-to-head edge here so we'll take them to either win or hold out for a draw, as it's unlikely to be a shootout and a close game is expected. Under 2.5 goals looks a solid option here at 1.77 and suits the script of a tight, cagey affair.
