Former Spartak Moscow striker Valery Kechinov believes that the red-white players are more productive and varied in attack than the Dynamo Moscow players.

“Spartak” will meet at home with “Dynamo” in the match of the 9th round of the MIR RPL, the game will take place on Saturday and will begin at 19:00 Moscow time.

— Both teams preach attacking, spectacular football, they try to play first, more attacking, I think this match will not be an exception. Recently, Spartak beat Dynamo, but it was a different tournament, a cup tournament, and a completely different game. The “red-whites” then had players who were little involved in the championship. But I’m still expecting Spartak’s victory tomorrow, because I think that the squad and players are stronger, and Spartak’s players play more skillfully, or perhaps more cunningly, in attack. Well, order has begun to improve in defense in recent games. Hence these expectations. Of course, this will not be a crushing victory again – but in a difficult and stubborn struggle, Spartak will win.

— That is, Spartak is simply more stable, and Lichka and Dynamo are still in search?

— That’s how it turns out, although I can’t say that Spartak is 100% okay. There is no stable starting lineup, the head coach has not yet decided on him. Especially in the championship, we constantly see rotation, new two-three-four players every match. This does not apply only to Promes, Sobolev and for some reason Duarte. How he ended up on this list, I cannot understand. Now Abascal has put Dzhikiya on the bench, Babich and Duarte are playing. This, I think, is strange, because Jikia, not even at his best, is stronger as a defender than Duarte. But with Dynamo, I’m sure we will again see a pairing between Duarte and Babich,” Kechinov told RB Sport.

Based on the results of 8 rounds, Dynamo ranks 4th in the WORLD RPL, gaining 15 points. “Spartak” is in 6th place, gaining 13 points.

The meeting between Spartak and Dynamo will be shown live on the MATCH TV and MATCH PREMIER channels. The broadcast is also available on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
