Dynamo Moscow take on the visitors Spartak Moscow at “Arena Khimki” in the opening round of the Russian Premier League 2017/2018. The Moscow derby will take place on Tuesday, July 18th.
After a year break Dynamo Moscow return to the Russia’s elite division where the team actually does belong to. Last season Dynamo Moscow confidently won the Russia’s Division 1 with 87 points gained and 12 points ahead of the closest chaser. This summer Dynamo Moscow have been enforced by qualitative players: Wanderson, Toni Sunjic, Samba Sow, Aleksey Ionov and Vitaly Diakov returned after loan with Kirill Panchenko being recruited from CSKA Moscow. In addition, there were no losses in Yuri Kalitvintsev’s side. It should be noted that during the summer break Dynamo Moscow haven’t lost not a single encounter, having got five victories and two draws.

Spartak Moscow have already opened the season, having taken the Super Cup trophy. Last Friday “The people’s team” defeated Lokomotiv Moscow with 2:1 scoreline in a 120-minute clash. Spartak Moscow haven’t practically changed their roster in summer, the team has neither lost its key players nor bought any performer, except for having signed defenders duet Marko Petkovic – Georgi Tigiev for free.
The statistics of the teams’ recent head-to-heads is fully on Spartak Moscow’s side as the team won six last games with 16:6 aggregated score. Taking into consideration the teams’ status with Dynamo Moscow being a newcomer while Spartak Moscow are the Premier League winner and Super Cup holder, as well as the rivals’ recent head-to-heads statistics, I believe that the visiting side will at least take some points.
Prediction for the match: Spartak Moscow to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
