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

Orenburg: a team that just can't seem to win
Orenburg are having a strange season. On one hand, they have won just once in nine rounds and are on a run of eight matches without a victory. On the other hand, Ildar Akhmetzyanov's side have conceded only ten goals, which is comparable to teams in the upper half of the table. The problem is in attack: just seven goals scored, with only Fakel having fewer. Orenburg have plenty of the ball and average around thirteen shots per match, but just over four of those are on target.
At home, Orenburg are noticeably more active. At Gazovik, the team opens up, pushes forward and creates chances. That is where they claimed their only win of the season - 2-1 over Rostov - and where their only home defeat has been against Zenit, 0-3. The artificial pitch gives the hosts an advantage, particularly against sides who prefer to keep the ball. During the break, Orenburg lost to Lokomotiv (0-2) in a friendly and beat Tekstilshchik (3-2), though Akhmetzyanov noted that the team created enough chances.

Dynamo Makhachkala: A Team That Refuses to Compromise
The Makhachkala side are the league's most clear-cut team in terms of results. Four wins and five defeats, no draws - a record shared only by Zenit. Their attack has been productive: 15 goals scored, the third-highest tally in the RPL. Gamid Agalarov has scored five goals in nine rounds. But the defence concedes almost two goals per game, which cancels out the attacking output.
Away from home, Dynamo have been worse: three of their five defeats have come on the road, including losses in each of their last two away matches. Those away fixtures have been fairly high-scoring, though - at least four goals have been scored in four consecutive away games.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Orenburg are noticeably more active at home than away. They open up, push forward and create chances - their only win of the season came on home soil. Dinamo Makhachkala have lost two consecutive RPL matches on the road, and in 5 of their last 7 away games they have conceded at least twice. With suspended players returning and home support behind them, Orenburg have every reason to end their winless run. We're backing Orenburg to win - Asian Handicap (0). Predicted score: 2-1.
