The home / away condition deserves particular attention, since despite this being a match between 12th and 4th in the league table, it is actually a match between the 8th ranked in home matches and the 8th in away matches.

After 6 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses, the home team is currently in 12th position, with 24 points won. In their last match, they have beaten Krasnodar at home by (2‑0), after having won by (5‑1) at home, in a match against Gazovik Orenburg.

The team allowed goals to the opponent in 8 of the last 10 matches, so it has not had great defensive strength, but its attack has marked regularly, since it has scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition.

Dynamo Saint Petersburg’s fight is against relegation, so be careful until the end of the championship. To stay in the elite, you must show regularity, but you will only succeed with good results. So, you will have to focus on having good performances and not making mistakes. Playing at home, the need to add the three points becomes greater. So, you will have to dominate the game and try to neutralize your rival’s actions. That will certainly be difficult in this match, but he has to win.

In their away matches for the league the most frequent final result at half-time was 0‑1 (4 in 11 games). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches for this competition there is a tendency for goals, since 9 of the last 11 matches have ended with Over 2.5 goals.

Rostov knows he is no longer fighting for the title, but continues to fight for a place in a European competition. If the competition ended today, I would go to the Europa League. However, he is determined to maintain consistency until the end of the league to seek a place in the Champions League. That said, it is clear that he is looking for a good result, despite playing away from home. Therefore, you must know the right moments to act so as not to complicate everything.
