Head-to-head statistics FC Dynamo-Makhachkala - Kryliya
Dynamo-Makhachkala Team Overview
Vadim Evseev took charge mid-season last year and kept the club in the RPL. They've started the new campaign with maximum points - a 2-1 win at Fakel, then 2-1 at home to Lokomotiv. Both times Makhachkala went behind, both times they came back.
The style hasn't changed. Dynamo don't chase possession - 43% against Fakel, 41% against Lokomotiv - and they're not interested in taking risks at the back. Counterattacking is the plan. The shot counts are fairly even across both matches, and even at home they're happy to sit back and let the other team have the ball.

Krylya Sovetov Team Overview
Samara have a similar managerial story. Sergei Bulatov, like Evseev, took charge mid-season last year and kept the club in the RPL. Now the target is more ambitious - chairman of the board of directors Maxim Simonov has spoken openly about competing for a trophy.
Krylya Sovetov opened the season with two away matches in Moscow. Both ended in draws - 0-0 against Dinamo and 1-1 against CSKA. The same pattern showed up in each game: a weak first half, a stronger second. And it wasn't down to substitutions - the team simply improves when the opening period goes badly. No wins yet, but the start isn't bad. The first victory of the season is the next thing to sort out.

Latest news
Dynamo-Makhachkala
✅ The squad arrives fully fit. Two league rounds without injuries or suspensions, but a thin bench means Vadim Evseev has to rotate.
Krylya Sovetov
✅ The injury situation mirrors their opponents' - there are none. That said, Krylia have fairly limited finances, so there were no significant additions over the summer. Which means Sergei Bulatov may well need to think about reshuffling his starting lineup.
⚽ Goals Prediction
Dynamo Makhachkala have a clear trend of scoring before the break - they've found the net in the first half in 6 of their last 8 matches, friendlies included. There's a similar pattern on the other side: the Volga side have conceded before half-time in 6 of their 7 away matches in the Russian Cup. This season they let in a first-half goal against CSKA, and against Moscow Dynamo they were noticeably worse before the break. The bet - Dynamo Makhachkala to score in the 1st half at 1.95*.
🚩 Corner Kick Prediction
Given the possible scenario of an early goal in the first half and Dynamo's tendency to sit back, the Samara side will be forced to push forward and chase the game. That creates more opportunities for corner kicks. In 4 of their last 5 matches, Dynamo won fewer corners than their opponents. The bet - Krylya Sovetov to win corners at 2.97*.
🟨 Yellow Cards
PredictionVadim Evseev's team is traditionally disciplined, yet their tactical model involves frequent fouls. This approach is stylistically characteristic of all squads managed by this coach. In the opening rounds, Krylia Sovetov demonstrated their ability to play attacking football and win one-on-one duels. Over the course of the match, the hosts are likely to commit more fouls, which could ultimately lead to a higher number of bookings. The bet is Dynamo to win the yellow card market at odds of 3.55*.
*Odds are illustrative and may vary across different sportsbooks.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Yevseyev's side have won both of their opening matches and showed character in each one. Dynamo look solid defensively and clinical when chances come - few as they may be. Two goals conceded, but the backline has generally held up well. Krylya Sovetov were playing away in Moscow, and motivation against a less high-profile opponent could be a factor here. Home advantage and good early-season form make a home win the more likely outcome. Editor's Prediction - Dynamo Makhachkala win. Correct score: 1-0.
