Vladimirskiy at Dynamo Moscow
MOSCOW (Interstat) — Dynamo Moscow will put its unbeaten record on the line Saturday when it hosts Vladimirskiy in a women’s professional basketball game. Dynamo Moscow enters at 4-0, while Vladimirskiy is 1-3 and looking to rebound from a difficult stretch. The game is set for Saturday, with Dynamo Moscow playing at home and Vladimirskiy as the visiting team. The matchup gives the home side a chance to remain perfect and gives the visitors an opportunity to move past a rocky opening to the season. The visitors will be on the road, while the hosts will play before a home crowd.
Vladimirskiy’s most recent result was a 76-70 overtime loss to MBA. That followed an 84-53 loss at Neftyanik, a 74-60 home win over Ivanovo and an 84-47 loss at UMMC. The lone victory came against Ivanovo, and Vladimirskiy has dropped three of four to open the season. The team will try to steady itself on the road against one of the league’s early unbeatens.
Dynamo Moscow has opened with four straight wins. Its most recent result was a 74-59 victory at Nadezhda. Dynamo Moscow also beat Spartak Moscow 79-77 on the road, topped Enisey 73-60 at home and defeated Samara 88-73 at home. The home side has scored at least 73 points in each of its four wins and will aim to continue that form against a Vladimirskiy team still searching for consistency. The teams are at opposite ends of the early standings, with Dynamo Moscow perfect through four games and Vladimirskiy seeking a second victory. Dynamo Moscow has two home wins and two road wins among its first four games.
This matchup opens a busy stretch for both clubs. Vladimirskiy is scheduled to host Dynamo Kursk in its next game, then visit Dyn Novosibirsk, visit Samara, host Enisey, visit Spartak Moscow, host Nadezhda, host UMMC, visit Ivanovo, host Neftyanik and visit MBA. Dynamo Moscow’s next game is scheduled at home against Ivanovo, followed by a home game against Neftyanik, a trip to MBA, a home game against UMMC, a home game against Dynamo Kursk, a home game against Dyn Novosibirsk, a trip to Samara, a trip to Enisey, a home game against Spartak Moscow and a home game against Nadezhda. The schedules offer both teams little time to settle before the next round of games. Both clubs will move quickly from Saturday’s game into a crowded portion of the league schedule. The upcoming stretch includes several games against teams from across the league.
