Baltika – Dynamo M

Baltika will not be able to play for a win

On Saturday, 11 May, Baltika will play at home against Dynamo. This is the most important match of the tour, if we take into account the motivation of the two teams. "White-Blue" became the second favourite in the championship race. Zenit is now only one point away. Baltika have collapsed back into the relegation zone and risk going directly to the First League. Dinamo in 2024 plays strictly in series. The winning streak at the start was replaced by a very strange decline. "The Bilo-Syni have not scored a single point in three consecutive matches. And after the black series, when the team was already written off, there was a new spurt - 12 points out of 12 possible. The medals are almost secured, but now the Blue and White have the lowest odds of the season at 4.00. Recently, the club was quoted at 100.00 in the championship race. The main trump card of the shadowy challenger is Konstantin Tyukavin. The Bilo-Syni striker is the best player in the RPL right now. The player is even a contender to win the scorer's race. Cassierra is only two goals away from the title. Plus, Tyukavin has a prohibitive level of confidence after his masterpiece goal against Sochi. Baltika had a very positive momentum until the last round. The team made a rather unexpected choice in the Russian Cup. Sergey Ignashevich's wards have not given up on the difficult calendar and are already two games away from the trophy. At the same time, there is a big risk of being left with nothing in the championship. It is very likely that now the main focus will shift to the meeting with Dynamo, and the preliminary final with Spartak will be on the back burner. Baltika before the break and after are two different teams. It's easy enough to compare their performance. At one point, the team from Kaliningrad hadn't scored in eight consecutive RPL games, but now they've broken through in a way that's unstoppable: 16 goals in seven meetings. The efficiency is above two goals. A big discovery for Baltika is midfielder Danila Kozlov. The 19-year-old Zenit pupil became a joker for Ignashevich. The young player is surprisingly dangerous even in games against top clubs. Bookmakers give a curious layout for the match, different from the usual quotes. In the first round, the Muscovites won with a score of 2:0. Dynamo has a coefficient of around 2.50 on the victory. This is certainly a temporary effect. Closer to the match, the quote will start to fall. In this regard, it is logical to consider the inflated odds on the Bilo-Syni. Even with great motivation, Baltika is inferior to Dynamo by all parameters. The class of performers should play a key role. In addition, Dinamo have a historic chance. Baltika does not look like an insurmountable obstacle for such a high coefficient.
