Head-to-head statistics Kryliya - FC Dynamo-Makhachkala
Krylya Sovetov show flashes of quality, but consistency remains elusive
Krylya Sovetov arrive for this match on the back of a 2-0 win over Rubin in Kazan, which ended a three-match winless run and moved the Samara side back up to eighth in the RPL. But Bulatov knows full well that one win does not fix deeper problems. At home, they have already let Fakel take their first three points of the season (1-2), and earlier in the campaign they were beaten heavily by the Makhachkala side (1-4). The Cup picture is slightly more even, but even there they trail Baltika on head-to-head criteria, and their last Cup match ended in a 0-2 home defeat to the Kaliningrad side.
Krylya Sovetov's strength lies in their ability to stay compact and punish mistakes. They only lost to Zenit in the Cup on penalties, drew with Dynamo Moscow and CSKA in the league, and came back from 2-0 down against Krasnodar. But when Krylya Sovetov need to take the initiative and impose themselves on a match, they struggle: their worst performances of the season have come against opponents who play direct, physical, vertical football. Under Evseev, the Makhachkala side do exactly that - and that is a concern for the hosts.
Match Results: Krylya Sovetov
Dynamo: Rock Bottom in the Standings and Slim Hopes
Makhachkala's last win came on 6 September, and the run since then has been grim: one point from their last six matches across all competitions - a home draw with Akron (1-1) - and a 0-4 thrashing away at Orenburg. In the Cup it is even worse: one point from four rounds and bottom of their group. They have lost eight of their last ten official matches.
In the RPL, they are only two points clear of the play-off zone, and the league fixture against Rostov may matter more to Yevseyev than this cup tie. The coaching staff could choose to rest key players with the battle to stay in the top flight in mind. Away from home, the Makhachkala side rely on a compact defence and quick counter-attacks, but when they need to chase a game they lack creativity in the final third. One of the few bright spots has been Javad Hosseinnejad, who scored against Akron and was named man of the match in that game.

Latest news
Krylya Sovetov
Krylia Sovetov have two absentees: goalkeeper Pesyakov and winger Kramarich, who picked up an injury in the match against Fakel, are both still recovering and have not been included in the squad. The depth of Bulatov's squad allows him to rotate without a significant drop in quality, but without Kramarich the attacking options are more limited - particularly against a side that will sit deep.
Dynamo-Makhachkala
Idar Shumakhov will miss the match through injury. Dynamo captain Mutalip Alibekov picked up his fourth yellow card in the match against Zenit and will miss the next RPL round - which means he could feature in the Cup.
π¨ Yellow Cards Prediction
The contest is likely to be intense: the visitors need nothing less than a win. At least four yellow cards were shown in both of the teams' meetings this season, and that threshold was reached in four of Krylya Sovetov's last five matches. We're going with Total Yellow Cards - Over 3.5.
β½οΈ Goals Prediction
At least three goals were scored in normal time in seven of Dinamo Makhachkala's last nine away matches in the RPL and the Russian Cup, with an even higher total recorded in five of those games. The visitors are forced to open up, and Krylya Sovetov are not always reliable defensively at home. We're going with Total Goals - Over 2.5 at 2.00*.
π© Corners Prediction
Head-to-head meetings between these sides tend to produce plenty of set pieces: there were at least nine corners in each of the last four encounters. Krylya Sovetov's style at home and Dinamo's style under Yevseyev both involve frequent use of wide attacks, which increases the likelihood of a high corner count. The main bet is Total Corners - Over 8.5.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
β Editor's Prediction
Krylya Sovetov have conceded in 9 of their last 10 matches. The team perform less well when required to take the initiative - they are more comfortable on the counter-attack, with space to exploit, than in positional play. Dynamo, meanwhile, can score: they have not won in six matches in a row, but they did find the net in four games during that run. The visitors will push forward knowing a draw is not enough for them. Dynamo to Score is the bet that follows from Krylya's vulnerability in positional defence and the visitors' motivation. Predicted score: 2-1.
