Head-to-head statistics FC Dynamo-Makhachkala - Rodina

Dynamo-Makhachkala Team Overview
Makhachkala's side started the season brightly but have since dropped off. Following their away win over Krylya Sovetov (4-1), Vadim Yevseyev's team have gone four matches without a win: two consecutive league defeats, a penalty shootout loss to Baltika, and a heavy Cup defeat to Zenit (0-3). In the most recent RPL round, Dynamo lost to Rubin (1-3) - they had levelled from the penalty spot on 73 minutes, only to concede twice late on through their own errors.
At home, Dynamo look more solid - opponents have scored no more than one goal in 8 of their last 10 home league matches. However, preparation has been complicated by a congested schedule: four days before the Rodina match, the team played an away Cup tie in St Petersburg, and before that there was a trip to Kazan, which may necessitate rotation.

Rodina Moscow Team Overview
The team sit 13th with four points from six matches - one win, one draw and four defeats - and are in the relegation play-off zone. They remain one of the more prolific sides among the bottom clubs, though, with eight goals scored in those six rounds. In their most recent matches, Rodina lost to Baltika (0:3) and to Moscow Dynamo (1:3). In the game against the Kaliningrad side, defender Mikael Nade and forward German Onugha both made their debuts, starting from the off.
Away from home, Rodina are regularly involved in high-scoring matches: at least three goals have been scored in 9 of their last 10 away fixtures across all competitions. The team's main problem is their defence - 17 goals conceded, the worst record in the league. Their attack does function, though: Both Teams to Score - Yes has landed in 6 of their last 9 matches.

🟨 Booking Prediction
Rodina matches tend to produce a lot of fouls: there have been at least four yellow cards in each of their last four matches across all competitions. Referee Yan Bobrovsky has averaged 4.8 cards per match across his last 14 RPL games. Taking both factors into account, the pick is Total Yellow Cards - Over 3.5 at 1.59*.
⚽ Goals Prediction
Rodina concede after the break with regularity away from home - in 9 of their last 10 away matches. Dynamo, meanwhile, have scored in the second half in 6 of their previous 7 RPL matches. Given that the hosts will look to take the initiative and press a weak visiting defence, a Dynamo goal in the second half - when Rodina will have less energy - looks a realistic outcome. Dynamo to Score in the 2nd Half is priced at 1.61*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Rodina have lost the corners battle in each of their last five matches across all competitions. The team tries to play attacking football, but the quality of their players does not always allow them to control the ball and carry it into the final third. Dynamo look more structured in this regard and have won the corners count in 3 of their last 4 matches across all competitions. The pick is Dynamo to Win Corners at 1.61*.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Both sides had poor results in their most recent league rounds and lost heavily in the cup. Against that backdrop, Dynamo at home will be more motivated to win - to end a four-match winless run and give their fans something to cheer about. Rodina concede points regularly, but they keep attacking - the only match in their last five in which they failed to score was against Baltika. In that context, both teams finding the net looks like the logical outcome. We're going with Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 2-1.
