Baltika vs FC Dynamo-Makhachkala Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 8 November 2026
🔉 Baltika ended a lengthy winless run in the Russian Premier League by beating Akron (2-1) and now host Dynamo Makhachkala, who are in a deep slump. The visitors have gone six league rounds without a win and head into the match with significant absences. The hosts, by contrast, have found form and are considered favourites at home, although their own home record is far from ideal.
Head-to-Head
📊 The teams have played each other in three competitions - the Russian Cup, the First League and the Russian Premier League - and Baltika have had the better of it in all three: two wins and three draws. The sides met twice in 2026, and both matches ended in draws with both teams scoring.
Head-to-head statistics Baltika - FC Dynamo-Makhachkala
They ended their losing streak but remain inconsistent at home
The Kaliningrad side went six rounds without a win, but there were no heavy defeats: they lost by a single goal to Lokomotiv (0:1) and Zenit (2:3), and drew four times, including against strong Krasnodar (1:1). Against Akron (2:1), Talalaev’s plan worked: the coach opted against a high press in the first half, saved his players’ energy for the second and brought on the fresh Belikov and Pospelov - and Belikov scored the winner. Their squad depth allows them to maintain the tempo, which is particularly important against a team that often makes mistakes under pressure.
At home, Baltika have taken just eight points from seven games, scoring eight goals and conceding nine. They have earned one point more away from home in six matches. The contrast is also clear between halves: they have scored five goals before the break and twelve after it. Top scorer Brayan Gil has five goals, while Gassama has provided three assists. If the hosts again need time to get going, the first half could produce few chances.
Match Results: Baltika
Defensive and attacking crisis
The Makhachkala side have struggled in their most recent run: six league matches without a win, with five defeats and just one draw. They have scored two goals and conceded 13 in their last five matches. After 13 league matches, Dynamo have scored 16 and conceded 26; away from home, the figures are 10 and 17 respectively in seven matches. The second-half figures are particularly concerning: the visitors have conceded 18 of their 26 goals after the break and have now conceded in six consecutive league matches. Baltika, by contrast, score more often in the second half.
In attack, the Makhachkala side have scored in 10 of their last 12 away matches in the Russian Premier League, but have failed to score in their last three games. The team are trying to play more boldly going forward, but have been unable to make up for their defensive errors by scoring goals. The visitors must both withstand the hosts’ second-half pressure and find a way out of their own goalscoring slump.

Latest news
Baltika
Filin and Shnaptsev are unavailable for Baltika as both continue to recover from injuries. Civic’s involvement remains in doubt. Otherwise, the squad is close to full strength.
FC Dynamo-Makhachkala
Dynamo will be without Agalarov (yellow-card accumulation) and Makhamadzhonov (suspension). Voronin is still recovering from injury. Shumakhov will probably replace Makhamadzhonov in central defence, but it is another change to an already vulnerable back line.
⚽️ Goals prediction
Both teams have scored in 10 of Dynamo-Makhachkala’s last 12 away matches in the Russian Premier League. The same bet has landed in 6 of Baltika’s last 8 home games in the competition. Despite the visitors’ struggles, they remain capable of posing a threat in attack, while the hosts regularly concede at home. Prediction - Both Teams to Score - Yes at odds of 2.18*.
🚩 Corners prediction
No more than nine corners were taken in 9 of Baltika's last 12 home matches in the Russian Premier League. That limit was also maintained in both head-to-head meetings with Dynamo Makhachkala last season. The teams' individual figures also favour a low total: Dynamo Makhachkala have taken no more than four corners in seven consecutive matches, while Baltika have taken no more than six in their last five. We back Total Corners - Under 10.5 at 1.43*.
🟨 Yellow cards prediction
Baltika have received at least two yellow cards in 6 of their last 7 matches. The hosts play aggressively and often commit fouls in midfield to disrupt the tempo. We’re backing Baltika Team Total Yellow Cards - Over 1.5 at 1.61*.
*The odds are approximate and may vary between bookmakers.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Baltika have ended their losing run and must build on that success at home. The Makhachkala side are in a prolonged slump: six rounds without a win, problems in defence and attack, and now the loss of Agalarov and Makhamadzhonov. The visitors have conceded 26 goals in 13 rounds - one of the worst defensive records in the league. However, Dynamo have scored in 10 of their last 12 away matches, so both teams scoring cannot be ruled out. The hosts will take three points, but probably not without conceding. Baltika to Win is the main pick. Predicted score: 2:1.
