CSKA vs FC Dynamo-Makhachkala Prediction 29 March 2025
🔊 Can CSKA extend their winning streak against a resilient opponent? Bookmakers' odds suggest they might. The match will take place at the "VEB Arena," which adds to their advantage. Dynamo Makhachkala tend to struggle more on the road than at home, which comes as no surprise. Nevertheless, the "White-Blues" do manage to pick up some points away from home. Therefore, we will explore various options to find the best approach.
Head-to-Head
The only head-to-head meeting between the teams took place in the first round of the current campaign. CSKA emerged victorious in Kaspiysk, thanks to a goal by Tamerlan Musaev in the 56th minute. It's worth noting that neither side created a significant number of chances. However, the Makhachkala side enjoyed more possession, even before they conceded the goal.
Head-to-head statistics CSKA - FC Dynamo-Makhachkala
CSKA Moscow Team Overview
CSKA faced Zenit immediately after the winter break. They prepared well for the challenge, effectively shutting down Zenit's attacking threats. However, they played cautiously on offense, resulting in a goalless draw (0-0). In their subsequent matches, the 'Army Men' maintained their form, not dropping any points. They narrowly defeated Khimki with a goal scored in stoppage time (1-0). Against Akron, the 'Red-Blues' dominated, taking a two-goal lead. Despite conceding a goal, they held on to secure the win (2-1).
The same scoreline was mirrored in a friendly against Partizan during the international break. Notably, Alerandro made his first start and opened the scoring. Fans were also pleased to finally see new signing Rodrigo Villagra in action. He might start against Dynamo Makhachkala, replacing Matvey Kislyak, who is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Dynamo-Makhachkala Team Overview
Dynamo Makhachkala have been praised this season for their defense but criticized for their attack. However, until the last round, the team conceded in all their spring matches, including the Russian Cup. While they managed to secure a draw at home against Lokomotiv (1-1), they suffered a resounding defeat away to Dynamo Moscow, conceding four unanswered goals.
Nevertheless, just a week later, Makhachkala redeemed themselves with a resounding 4-0 victory over Krylia Sovetov, marking their biggest win of the season. Early in the second half, their opponents were reduced to ten men. By then, Dynamo Makhachkala were already two goals ahead, but the players showed no signs of slowing down. Agalarov ended up scoring twice. It’s worth noting that for the upcoming match, Alibekov and Sandrachuk will be sidelined due to injuries.

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the match is Alexey Sukhoi, who has officiated 13 Premier League games this season. He has overseen two matches each involving Dynamo Makhachkala and CSKA, with CSKA's games being particularly card-heavy, featuring 7 and 8 yellow cards. On average, the referee issues 4.85 cautions per match.
This season, Dynamo Makhachkala have the edge in yellow cards (2.3 compared to 1.7). Their matches average 4.5 yellows. Considering the referee's stats, a bet on total yellow cards over 4 seems worthwhile.
⚽️ Goal Predictions
The first half is likely to see cautious play from both sides. Goals, if any, are expected after the break, as seen in their head-to-head clash in the first round. CSKA have scored in 6 of their last 7 matches during this period. Therefore, betting on a home team goal in the second half appears to be a well-founded prediction.
🚩 Corner Predictions
CSKA have the advantage in corners this season (4.8 versus 4.2). However, they haven't managed more than five corners in any match during the spring part of the championship. In their first-round head-to-head, CSKA only had one corner. Thus, betting on CSKA total corners under 6.5 makes sense.
Editorial Prediction
CSKA are the favorites heading into this clash, even without Kislyak, who has surprisingly become increasingly indispensable to the team. Nonetheless, they can maintain a solid defense and capitalize on one of their few opportunities, making a potential scoreline of 1-0 quite plausible.
Expecting a high-scoring affair might be unrealistic here, as it's unlikely that Dynamo Makhachkala will find the back of the net. If CSKA don't manage to score early, they might have to work hard to secure the three points. The hosts might also opt for a defensive approach to clinch the win, which is why we suggest betting on total goals under 2.5. Furthermore, matches involving Dynamo Makhachkala this season average just 1.8 goals.
