Dynamo Moscow vs Akhmat Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 31 October 2026
🔉 Dinamo Moscow go into this match on the back of two consecutive defeats: to Krasnodar (1-2) in the Cup and to Akron (1-3) in the league. For Schwarz's side, this is a chance to return to first place - Zenit have already moved two points clear. Akhmat have gone six matches without a win and are in the play-off zone. The visitors need points just as badly, but the hosts' quality and form speak for themselves.

Head-to-head statistics Dynamo Moscow - Akhmat
Dinamo Moscow: the slip in Samara doesn't cancel out the progress
Two consecutive defeats after a nine-match winning run is unpleasant, but not a crisis. In Samara, Dinamo Moscow outperformed Akron in expected goals by almost three to one (2.02 against 0.81), but wasted their chances and paid for defensive errors. The cup defeat to Krasnodar is also not worth reading as a downturn: Schwarz made ten changes to the starting line-up, keeping his key players fresh for the RPL.
At the VTB Arena, Dinamo Moscow have barely put a foot wrong this season: one defeat to Krasnodar in the cup in mid-August, then five consecutive league wins. In the RPL, the hosts have taken 16 points from a possible 18. The attack is functioning: Tyukаvin scored against Krasnodar, Gladyshev provided an assist. With a more familiar combination of players, Dinamo Moscow should be able to recover their sharpness in the final third.

Akhmat: no wins and no goals
Akhmat's situation is about as bad as it gets: 14th place, 11 points, and two wins from 12 rounds. In the last round they lost at home to Orenburg (0-1), and during the week they were knocked out of the Cup by Fakel on penalties (0-0). Their winless run stands at six matches across all competitions, and five of those have been defeats.
That said, the scorelines in recent games have not been heavy: against Zenit in St Petersburg, Akhmat conceded the decisive goal in the 90th minute (2-3), and against Orenburg they posted an xG of 1.53 compared to their opponents' 0.70. Chances are being created, but the finishing is lacking - Akhmat have scored just twice in four rounds. Away from home the picture is even bleaker: they have not won an away match in the RPL since September 2025, and have picked up only three points on the road this season.

Latest news
Dynamo Moscow
The main uncertainty for Dinamo Moscow is the right side of defence. Marichal, who picked up an injury in Samara, has still not recovered: he was not included in the squad for the cup match against Krasnodar, and there is no clarity yet on when he will return. Caceres is most likely to start at right back - after the break he should be available for full duty. Alongside Marichal, Kutitsky, Zaynutdinov and Chavez remain in the treatment room.
Akhmat Grozny
Akhmat are missing their entire central axis. Ndong remains in treatment, while Romao, the first-choice defensive midfielder, is also unavailable - and his absence is the most damaging. Cherchesov will have to cover the zone in front of the defence with Ibishev. During the week, Grozny played their cup match with close to their first-choice side, which does nothing for their freshness going into this game.
Predicted Lineups
Dinamo Moscow predicted starting XI: Lunev - Caceres, Osipenko, David Ricardo, Rubens - Glebov, Fomin - Gladyshev, Bitello, Arthur - Tyukavın.
Akhmat predicted starting XI: Ulyanov - Adamov, Tsake, Sidibe, Bogosavac - Ibishev, Silva - Kasıntura, Shchetinin, Sadulaev - Melkadze.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Akhmat will be motivated to claim their first away win of the season, but against quick sides who can control the ball, they are likely to commit plenty of fouls. In away matches, Akhmat have received at least three yellow cards in 4 of their last 6 games. Our pick is Akhmat Team Total Yellow Cards - Over 2.5 at 2.21*.
⚽️ Goals Prediction
Akhmat have scored more than one goal in just 3 of their last 12 RPL meetings at Dinamo Moscow's ground, and in six of those they failed to score at all. The hosts' defence is not without its flaws, but the visitors are clearly struggling in the final third. Our prediction is Akhmat Team Total - Under 1 at 1.60*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Akhmat have won at least three corners in each of their last seven away RPL matches, averaging 5.3 corners per game over that run. The visitors will look to push forward even against stronger opposition, and set pieces remain one of their main weapons. Our pick is Akhmat Team Total Corners - Over 2.5 at 1.56*.
🚀 Player Stat Bet
Konstantin Tyukavin is in fine form: seven goals in 15 RPL and Cup matches, and he has scored in 2 of his last 3 games. He also got on the scoresheet in Dinamo's home Cup match against Akhmat earlier this season. Tyukavin to Score is priced at 2.16*.
🎯 Safe Bet
Dinamo Moscow are on a scoring run of eight consecutive league matches and 11 matches in a row across all competitions. Akhmat have conceded in 19 of their last 20 away RPL matches, and in 24 of their last 26 away games across all competitions. Dinamo Moscow to Score at 1.08* is the reliable option for this game.
😱 Risky Bet
Dinamo Moscow have scored in the second half in 6 of their last 7 matches across all competitions. At home in the league, they have found the net after the break in 6 of their last 7 matches. If Akhmat hold on until half-time, Dinamo will have more space to work with in the second half. The risky option is Dinamo Moscow to Win - Handicap (-1) in the Second Half at 3.05*.
👀 If the Match Goes Off-Script
Akhmat have gone ten consecutive matches without a win at official level. At some point that run has to end - if only by the law of averages. The visitors are desperate for points, and Dinamo Moscow, following two defeats, could be psychologically vulnerable. Akhmat to Win at 5.99* is a scenario that cannot be ruled out.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Three wins over Akhmat in a single season is a scenario Dinamo Moscow are quite capable of delivering. The defeats against Krasnodar and Akron should not mislead: in Samara, the Muscovites generated twice as many expected goals as their opponents, while in the Cup, Schwarz deliberately rotated heavily. At home in the league, Dinamo are unbeaten - five wins and a draw, with a goal difference of 12:4. Akhmat away remain the most accommodating opponents in the division: no away wins in six matches and just three points on the road. Dinamo's high press and quick wide play should open up the visitors' defence, which has also lost both central defensive midfielders. September's Cup thrashing (3:0) is no guarantee of a repeat, but it is more than a passing reference point. Dinamo Moscow - Handicap (-1) is the main selection. Predicted score: 2:0 or 3:1.
