Dynamo vs Admiral Prediction 9 September 2026
🔊 Leonid Tambiev will face Admiral for the first time as Dynamo’s head coach-a side he knows all too well. Neither team has managed to pick up any points at the start of the season: the Moscow club have suffered back-to-back defeats, while Admiral opened their campaign with a shutout loss. Dynamo have already showcased a range of issues-struggling to finish chances in one match, then faltering defensively in the next. Now, one of these teams is guaranteed an opportunity to turn their poor start around.
Head-to-Head
📊 Last season, these sides faced off twice and traded victories. Dynamo edged the first clash, prevailing 4-3 in a shootout. In the return fixture, Admiral got their revenge, coming out on top 2-1 in regulation. Looking at a broader sample, scoring between these teams tends to be moderate-the average total over their last five head-to-head meetings stands at 5.2 goals per game. Notably, Dynamo have scored at least three times against Admiral in three of those five encounters.
Head-to-head statistics Dynamo - Admiral
Dynamo Moscow Team Overview
The summer gave Dynamo plenty of reasons for optimism-the team looked sharp in preseason and lifted the Mayor of Moscow Cup. However, as the regular season got underway, issues began to surface that were far less apparent during their preseason campaign. Against Avtomobilist, the Moscow side generated chances worth 3.5 expected goals but managed to convert only once, falling short in a 1-2 defeat. Their next outing exposed a different vulnerability.
Facing SKA, the Blue-and-Whites raced to a 2-0 lead before conceding five unanswered goals, coming away empty-handed once again. SKA capitalized on the power play twice, while Maksim Motorygin posted just an 84% save percentage. After the game, Leonid Tambiev highlighted his own special teams-Dynamo found the net only once in 12 minutes with the man advantage. Still, the coach praised his squad’s character and singled out Yegor Rimashevsky, who bagged a brace, as one of the team’s current leaders. Pavel Shen and Vladislav Pod'yapolsky are both nearing a return to action.
Match Results: Dynamo Moscow
Admiral Vladivostok Team Overview
Admiral wrapped up their preseason on a tough note, suffering three defeats in four games. The team’s offensive inconsistency was particularly evident: they failed to score against Dinamo Minsk (0-4) and SKA (0-3), but managed to put five past Barys, converting on the power play three times. However, their first official game brought back familiar struggles in front of goal.
In Kazan, Admiral kept the deficit to a minimum for much of the contest but couldn’t find a way past Timur Bilyalov, ultimately falling 0-2 to Ak Bars. Oleg Bratash’s side registered just 15 shots on target all game. Despite this, they did have chances-Alexander Volkov went one-on-one with the keeper, and Egor Chezhganov missed a golden opportunity at the open net. Next up is another road test, with Admiral still missing injured players Olson, Pimenov, and Tsitsyura.

⚡️ Key Players
Yegor Rimashevsky has scored twice in Dynamo’s opening two games, joining Igor Martynov and Jordan Weal at the top of the team’s scoring chart with two points apiece. Both Martynov and Weal have provided a pair of assists each. Rimashevsky has also fired 11 shots on target-averaging 5.5 per game.
Admiral, meanwhile, are still searching for their first points of the season after drawing a blank in their opener. The Vladivostok side failed to score against Ak Bars and are yet to break their duck.
🥅 Goaltenders
Maxim Motorygin has started both games for Dynamo, logging 113 minutes and 48 seconds between the pipes. He has conceded six goals, posting a save percentage of 86.7% and a goals-against average (GAA) of 3.16.
For Admiral, Ivan Kulbakov got the nod in Kazan. He turned aside 33 of 34 shots faced during his time on the ice, finishing the contest with an impressive 97.1% save percentage and a GAA of 1.01.
⭐️ Editor’s Prediction
Despite back-to-back defeats to start the season, Dynamo continue to create plenty of scoring chances. Factoring in six friendlies and two official games, the Moscow side are averaging 3.5 goals per game. Admiral, meanwhile, have conceded an average of 2.9 goals across ten outings this year, nine of which were preseason fixtures.
There’s a clear trend in the recent head-to-head history as well: Dynamo have scored at least three goals against Admiral in three of their last five meetings. After struggling to convert in the opener but netting three times against SKA, Dynamo’s attacking firepower stands out as the key factor here. My pick: Dynamo Moscow over 2.5 team goals.
