FC Dynamo-Makhachkala vs Rostov Prediction 24 May 2025
🔊 Will Dynamo Makhachkala retain their spot in the Russian Premier League? The odds are quite favorable, especially since Pari NN, trailing in points, will face a top-3 opponent in the final round. However, to ensure safety, a win at their home ground, the "Anzhi Arena," would be ideal. Furthermore, Rostov have lost their motivation in the league and are fully focused on the Russian Cup. In this scenario, the favorite is clear, but we'll explore various options to make an insightful prediction.
Head-to-Head
📊 The only official head-to-head clash between the teams took place in the first round of the current campaign. They ended in a stalemate (0-0) at the Rostov Arena. The game was evenly matched, as evidenced by the close stats across various metrics. For instance, both sides managed three shots on target. In such circumstances, it's no surprise that the defenders received the highest ratings within their teams.
Head-to-head statistics FC Dynamo-Makhachkala - Rostov
Dynamo-Makhachkala Team Overview
🔵 Dynamo Makhachkala have been unable to secure a victory for over a month, which has hindered their early bid to retain their spot in the RPL. This slump followed an emotional triumph over Spartak in Moscow (2-1). Credit is due to the Makhachkala side for fighting to maintain their lead, though their opponents played better overall. The "White-Blues" managed to score against Orenburg and Krasnodar, but then their attacking prowess began to falter.
🔗 After two matches without finding the net, Makhachkala finally broke through against Akhmat (1-1) in the last round, albeit from the penalty spot. Serder Serderov was the scorer, marking his first goal of the current RPL campaign. Despite failing to hold onto the lead, Dynamo arguably delivered their best performance in the past month. They couldn't clinch the win, but they did eliminate Akhmat from being a competitor in the battle for survival, as Makhachkala hold the head-to-head advantage in case of a tie on points.

Rostov Team Overview
🟡 Rostov sit eighth in the league standings. They won't climb any higher, but they could slip down if they lose in Kaspiysk and Akron defeat Lokomotiv in a concurrent match. In that scenario, based on head-to-head results, the team from Tolyatti would surpass them. However, this might not be of much concern for the "Yellow-Blues," as they have a Russian Cup super final against CSKA on the horizon.
🔗 After their victory over Spartak in the Russian Cup, Rostov barely had time to recover before their home game against Zenit. They had to field what was essentially a reserve squad. Nevertheless, even this lineup put up a fight against the visitors from St. Petersburg. At the very least, the hosts had just as many scoring opportunities. Unfortunately, they lacked the finishing touch to convert any of those chances, resulting in a farewell defeat (0-1) in front of their fans.

Latest news
Dynamo-Makhachkala
🎙 Dynamo Makhachkala's head coach reflected on the match result against Akhmat: “Of course, we wanted to win, but I think the result reflects the game... I believe we saw two different halves. We performed better in the second half than in the first, even though we led in the first half... The game was evenly matched, with chances for both sides. Unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize on our decent opportunities.”
📝 Lokomotiv's forward Timur Suleymanov, dissatisfied with his playing time this season, might make a move to Dynamo Makhachkala. However, it could be a loan rather than a transfer. Baltika, who have been promoted from the FNL, will also compete for his signature.
❌ In the upcoming fixture, Aleksandr Sandrachuk will not be available as he remains on the injury list. Soslan Kagermazov is also out, having missed the last four matches.
Rostov
🎙 Rostov's coach Jonathan Alba once again expressed satisfaction with his team's performance, this time in the match against Zenit: "I'm pleased with the team's performance, despite the result. We were close to victory. We scored in the last minute, but the goal was disallowed. The atmosphere was fantastic today, but unfortunately, we couldn't secure the win."
📌 It has come to light that Rostov's president Artashes Arutyunyants, the club's sporting director Alexey Ryskin, the coaching staff, around 50 office personnel, and a significant number of players will leave the club immediately after the final Russian Cup match. However, the club itself has denied this information.
📝 Several Rostov players have caught the attention of RPL clubs. For instance, Ilya Vakhania's agent is negotiating with several potential employers. Dynamo Moscow is among them, as they could use a right-back of Russian national team caliber.
❌ Rostov will be without Eyad El-Askalani, who is sidelined with a cruciate ligament rupture.
🟨 Prediction on Yellow Cards
This season, Dynamo Makhachkala tend to receive more yellow cards (2.3 compared to 2). However, they are less prone to cautions in home games. For instance, in their recent match against Zenit, they managed to avoid any. In their last four games at the Anzhi Arena, Bidzhiev's squad received no more than two yellows. Therefore, it makes sense to bet on Dynamo Makhachkala's total yellow cards under 2.5.
⚽️ Prediction on Goals
Rostov are unlikely to be fully prepared for the upcoming match. On the other hand, Dynamo Makhachkala should have no trouble getting into gear. The team tends to start strong, as evidenced by their encounter with Spartak, where they scored twice in the first half. At home, this pattern is consistent - in 6 of their last 7 matches. Therefore, a compelling option is Dynamo Makhachkala to score in the 1st half.
🚩 Prediction on Corners
Rostov have the edge in corners this season (4.7 compared to 4.2). However, matches involving them average only 8.4 corners. The head-to-head meeting in the first round didn't even reach that mark (7). Thus, it makes sense to bet on total corners under 9.5.
Editorial Prediction
The biggest match of the season for Rostov is still ahead, but for Dynamo, it's here and now. The team from Makhachkala needs to secure three points, and we believe they can do it. Yes, they've lost their last two home games, but those were against Krasnodar and Zenit, who are in the title race. In the upcoming match, their chances for success are significantly higher. Our pick is a Dynamo Makhachkala win with a (0) handicap.
