Match Preview
In the upcoming Russian Cup fixture, Rostov will host Dynamo Makhachkala at the Rostov Arena on Wednesday, 27 August, with kickoff set for 18:45. Rostov's recent form has been concerning, with just one win in their last five matches (LLWLL), while Dynamo Makhachkala has shown improvement, managing two wins and a draw in their last five outings (LDDWW). This disparity in form could play a crucial role in the match, as Rostov will be looking to regain their footing against a Dynamo side that has started to find its rhythm.
Historically, the head-to-head record favours Rostov, who have won two of the last ten encounters, but they have struggled to dominate at home recently. An interesting angle to consider is the potential for both teams to score, as three of the last ten meetings have seen both sides finding the net. With Rostov's defensive vulnerabilities and Dynamo's recent attacking prowess, this match could very well see both teams contributing to the scoreboard, making BTTS a compelling bet for this cup clash.
