Shinnik Yaroslavl vs Dynamo Makhachkala tips and predictions

Motivated Shinnik Yaroslavl to test Dynamo Makhachkala resolve

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Dynamo Makhachkala makes them a horrible bet. Shinnik Yaroslavl don't look likely to get the win but they might keep the visitors on their toes. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away with.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. Having created something of a fortress against pressure, Shinnik Yaroslavl haven't conceded at all during their latest 3 matches. Meanwhile Dynamo Makhachkala have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 games.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, 2 of the last 3 have been draws.

If the betting market is to be believed, only one of these sides is fancied to score because of the favouritism for Dynamo Makhachkala. In the Both Teams To Score market, the No option is the pick.

Shinnik Yaroslavl have drawn 5 of their last 6 matches on their own soil. Further, they drew 0-0 with Leningradets at home in March and a similar scoreline is on the cards here. And without much to get stuck into, the feeling is this also ends in stalemate.
