FC Rostov host Dynamo Moscow following mixed early starts
Matchday nine sees fourth-placed Dynamo travel to Rostov-on-Don looking to maintain their pursuit of the early leaders.
FC Rostov sit 12th after eight games and are looking to find consistency after a slow start to the campaign. Their recent form has been patchy, with three defeats in their last five matches, most recently falling to a 3-0 loss away at Spartak Moscow. However, they remain a different prospect at home, where they recently secured a 3-1 victory over Fakel.
Dynamo have made a strong start, sitting 4th with 16 points. They arrive with significant momentum having won four of their last five matches, including a 1-0 win over FC Orenburg last time out. Sandro Schwarz, who returned to the club in May 2026, has oversaw a disciplined run that includes three consecutive league wins before this fixture.
