Dynamo vs Salavat Yulaev Ufa Prediction 26 September 2026
🔊 Salavat Yulaev have gone eight games without a win against Dynamo Moscow, with their last victory in the capital dating back to 2020. However, Dynamo themselves are far from cruising: heading into their most recent outing, the Blue-and-Whites were coming off back-to-back defeats and only managed to edge past Minsk in overtime. Salavat also endured a tough night recently-coming from behind against Metallurg but still falling short. The Ufa side have had an extra day to prepare for this matchup.
Eight games without a win
📊 Last season, these teams faced off twice, with Dynamo coming out on top both times. In Moscow, the hosts cruised to a convincing 4-1 victory, while in Ufa, Salavat put up a tougher fight-regulation and overtime weren’t enough to separate them, but the Blue-and-Whites eventually clinched it in the shootout (3-2). This losing streak has now stretched to eight consecutive head-to-head defeats for Salavat. It’s worth noting, though, that high-scoring games have been rare in this matchup: the average total over the last five meetings stands at just 4.2 goals.

Dynamo have finally managed to pull it off
Moscow have endured two tough defeats recently: Amur shut them out despite 32 shots on target (0-4), and Dynamo could only muster a single goal against Barys (1-4). Things took a turn against Minsk. The Blue and Whites twice came from behind, with Maksim Letunov equalizing just 41 seconds before the final buzzer, and Bulat Shafigullin netting the game-winner 42 seconds before the end of overtime (4-3). Another bold move from Leonid Tambiev paid off as well: defenseman Magomed Sharakanov started up front and found the net just 83 seconds into the game.
However, the underlying issues remain. Dynamo conceded two power-play goals and failed to convert on their own man-advantage opportunities. After the game, Tambiev singled out unnecessary panic and a lack of clinical finishing as key problems. The special teams are being reshuffled without injured Yegor Rimashevsky and Nikita Tertyshny, while Jordan Weal had yet to join the squad at the time of the coach’s latest comments.

Salavat lose their balance once again
Salavat Yulaev wrapped up their home stand with a 4-3 loss to Metallurg, despite mounting an impressive comeback during the game. Trailing 0-2, Sheldon Rempal struck twice on the power play within just 42 seconds, pulling his team level. Salavat dominated possession, spending 16:07 in the offensive zone compared to Metallurg’s 10:03, and outshot their opponents 35-27. However, special teams let the hosts down: they conceded a shorthanded goal while on the power play, and Metallurg capitalized again when Ufa were penalized.
Prior to that, Salavat’s defense had looked much more solid-they shut out Neftekhimik (2-0) and limited Spartak to just one goal (3-1). That’s a stark contrast to the Metallurg clash, where they allowed four goals. Notably, Ufa conceded four of the nine goals against them during third periods of this home stretch, and in their latest outing, they only managed to cut the deficit with 12 seconds left on the clock. On a positive note, Evgeny Kulik returned to the lineup after missing nearly six months through injury before facing Metallurg.

⭐️ Editor’s Prediction
The recent clash between Dynamo and Minsk was something of an outlier, but it’s too early to call those seven goals the start of a new trend. Over their last five games, the Moscow side have averaged just two goals per outing. Amur managed to shut them out despite facing 32 shots on target, and Barys limited them to a single goal. Head-to-head meetings between these teams also tend to be cagey affairs: under 5.5 total goals has hit in eight of their last ten encounters, with an average of 4.2 goals scored across the most recent five. Even Salavat’s recent defensive issues don’t outweigh the strong low-scoring indicators here. My pick: under 5.5 total goals.
