On May 29, the final match of the Russian Cup will take place, in which Spartak Moscow and Dynamo will play. The forecast for this match is given by former Spartak football player Dmitry Alenichev.
Spartak and Dynamo performed very unevenly in the spring part of the Russian Premier League. Spartak players spent the whole season very unsuccessfully, finishing the championship in a low 10th place. Dynamo, on the other hand, stayed close to the leading Zenit for a long time, and many hoped that the blue and white would seriously compete for the championship trophy, but in the end they even lost second place in the last round, losing to Sochi on their field.
Be that as it may, both teams' motivation should go through the roof to finish the season on a positive note, winning the coveted trophy. The match should be very persistent and equal. Bookmakers see Dynamo as a small favorite for this final.
Dmitry Alenichev believes that in the first half both teams will act as cautiously and pragmatically as possible, understanding the high price of a possible mistake. In the second half, the game may change – fatigue may come to the fore, giving rise to mistakes, and, as a result, goals scored. The expert still bets on a draw in regular time, believing that the winner of the trophy can be determined in a penalty shootout.
