How Dynamo – Ural will play on May 23: team uniforms, analytics and forecast

The play-off matches for the right to play in the RPL WORLD next season are entering the final stage. After the first match in Yekaterinburg, the score in the confrontation is 0:1 in favor of Dynamo Makhachkala. The return leg will be held in Kaspiysk, and for the white and blue it is a great chance to formalize their stay in the elite on their own field, and for Ural it is an opportunity to recoup and keep their registration in the Premier League. Both teams showed character in the first game, and now everything will be decided in Dagestan. The history of the confrontation and the forecast of the outcome are in the material.

Form of commands

Dynamo Makhachkala, led by Vadim Evseev, had a difficult season in the RPL, finishing in 14th place with a minimal point margin. The team is traditionally renowned for its tough discipline, tight defense, and ability to make the most of its standards. In the first play-off match, Dynamo scored a quick goal already in the 5th minute (striker Miro scored) and competently held the advantage on the road. The key performers are Miro, Hamid Agalarov, experienced midfield players and a reliable goalkeeper. Evseev knows how to set up a team to fight and tactically outplay an opponent at key moments.

Vasily Berezutsky's Ural struggled for a direct exit in the First League season, but eventually got into trouble. The Bumblebees are traditionally strong at home, with a good selection of performers and playoff experience. However, in Yekaterinburg, they were unable to crack the Dynamo defense and did not look sharp enough in attack. The leaders are experienced players in the attack and defense groups, who should add aggression in the second match. The coaching staff will certainly rely on high pressure and maximum activity from the first minutes in order to offset the deficit in the score.

Match scenario, forecasts

The first meeting turned out to be tough and pragmatic: Dynamo caught a quick goal and competently defended, but Ural did not find the keys to the opponent's goal. Now in Kaspiysk, the hosts will receive strong support from the stands, which traditionally adds confidence and strength to them.

Dynamo looks preferable due to the away win, the depth of the squad and the ability to play for results. However, you can not relax — Ural is motivated, has experience and will run forward from the first seconds. Expect intense, combative football with lots of martial arts, standards and nerves. A lot will be decided by the realization of the moments, the play of the goalkeepers and the physical readiness for the last 20-30 minutes.

A scenario with a minimum score or a victory for the hosts is likely. Dynamo usually dominates the fight and control on their own field, but one missed goal can dramatically turn the series around.

The Dynamo Makhachkala –Ural meeting will take place on May 23 at 16:00 Moscow time at the Anzhi Arena in Kaspiysk.
