Dinamo

This season promises to be a tough one for Dinamo. A year ago, they came incredibly close to winning the league for the first time in 48 years but missed out on the coveted trophy in the final round, which can be psychologically devastating. Marcel Lička has had to work hard in the off-season to get his young and ambitious players over the humiliation of the last championship. The opening match of this year's championship proved that the Moscow side is ready for another run at gold. They scored three unanswered goals in half an hour, and only Daniil Fomin's penalty in the 40th minute prevented them from extending their lead, but Dinamo held on for a 3:1 win.

Lokomotiv

Lokomotiv had an uneven season last term, only starting to pick up momentum at the end of the campaign. The Muscovites lost many points in the early stages of the championship, but before the winter break, they had a great run and got close to the leaders. After the break, they struggled again, with points being awarded at a heavy rate, but in the last four rounds, they managed to win just once to move up to fourth place in the final standings, just four points behind the champions. The first game after the summer break against Akron was challenging for Mikhail Galaktionov's men. The rivals were penalized, with Dmitry Vorobyov scoring the winner in the 79th minute - 3:2.

Expert Betting Tips

Dinamo made the biggest impression on all the RPL clubs in the opening half-hour of their match. The Muscovites were missing several key players for the game against Voronezh and were down to their last man by the 40th minute, but that did not prevent them from running out comfortable winners. On the other hand, Lokomotiv struggled with Akron, left a lot of energy and emotion on the field, and only snatched the three points at the very end. Dinamo won seven of their last eight Premier League matches, and they should have a better chance of success in the derby. 

Dinamo and Lokomotiv are two attacking teams that tend to play a bold and open brand of football, which regularly results in big scores when they meet. Last season, both teams were among the top scorers, with the blue and white scoring 53 goals (an average of 1.77 per game) and the red and green 52 (an average of 1.73 per game). In the opening round of the new season, they scored three goals apiece, confirming their attacking prowess.
