Dynamo Moscow vs CSKA Prediction 18 July 2026
🔊 The match between Dinamo Moscow and CSKA promises to be tense from the first minute, given the high-scoring nature of their recent closed-door friendly. This one, though, is part of the Fraternal Cup - a tournament that was supposed to include Brazilian side Botafogo, who pulled out of the trip to Russia. Let's see if the two local clubs can put on a show at VTB Arena with a full crowd and no attendance restrictions.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the last ten meetings, Dynamo have the slight edge in wins - five to four, with one draw. Worth noting: nine of those ten matches featured goals at both ends, and eight of the ten went over 2.5 goals.
Head-to-head statistics Dynamo Moscow - CSKA
Dynamo Moscow Team Overview
Dynamo Moscow made a managerial change ahead of the season, bringing in Sandro Schwarz. Not exactly a new face at the club, though - the German already managed them between 2020 and 2022. Under him, the side won their first medals since 2008, finishing third, and reached the Russian Cup final. His second stint is going well so far. Moscow are on a four-game winning run, during which they've beaten Orenburg (2:1), Pari NN (2:1) and CSKA (4:3).

CSKA Moscow Team Overview
Things haven't been smooth at CSKA either. Mid-season, the club's management decided to sack Fabio Celestini, who had won the Russian Super Cup with the side at the start of last season. Dmitry Igdisamov was called up from CSKA's youth team to serve as caretaker. Under him, the club went out of the cup, and the final two RPL rounds brought no wins. Still, on June 1 he was handed a full contract. Since then, though, Moscow haven't won a single pre-season match - they're currently on a three-game losing run. The only points they picked up in pre-season came in two draws against First League sides.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Both the last head-to-head - seven goals - and the seasonal numbers point to open, attacking football with goals at both ends. CSKA have looked shaky defensively in pre-season, and Dynamo are averaging 3.6 goals per game across five friendlies. Our pick is total goals over 2.5. Even without both teams scoring, the hosts look capable of hitting that threshold on their own. Predicted score: 3-1 to Dynamo.
