Dinamo St. Petersburg vs FC SochiPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Dinamo St. Petersburg have not lost in five matches, but the last three all ended level: 1-1 with Dinamo Vologda, 0-0 with Cherepovets and 0-0 away at Spartak Moscow 2. For a win you have to go back to a 2-1 over FC 10 and a 3-2 over Tver. FC Sochi, by contrast, arrive on five straight victories, three of them away from home: 2-1 at Torpedo Moskva, 1-0 against Volga Ulyanovsk, 2-1 at FK Neftekhimik, 3-2 at KAMAZ and 2-1 against Chelyabinsk in their latest outing. Every win came by a single goal, for a total of ten scored and five conceded over the run. The two clubs have never met before, so there are no previous results to work from. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
