CSKA Moscow

vs

FC Dynamo Makhachkala

Preview

Head-to-Head

• CSKA Moscow have won eight of their ten home Premier League games this season, conceding just 1.00 goal per game.
• FC Dynamo Makhachkala have not won in their last two visits to CSKA Moscow and have lost seven of their last ten away Premier League trips, drawing three.

CSKA Moscow (Home)

• CSKA Moscow are tipped to bounce back from consecutive defeats with a home win over inconsistent FC Dynamo Makhachkala on Saturday, as the two sides fight for very different objectives in the Premier League 2025-2026 season.
• The hosts have been inconsistent in their recent performances, but sit fifth in the table with 36 points from 21 matches.
• This is a true clash of tactical philosophies with Celestini’s CSKA Moscow side playing a high-tempo, attacking game with full-backs pushing high up the field and a pressing game which looks to overwhelm teams with their possession and transition play.

FC Dynamo Makhachkala (Away)

• Visitors Dynamo Makhachkala have struggled in the lower half of the table, sitting 12th with 21 points from 21 games, but they’ve been in impressive form of late with four wins from their last five in all competitions.
• In contrast, Bidzhiev’s Dynamo are a compact, disciplined and structured side with a clear focus on preventing errors and looking to hit their opponents on the counter or from set-pieces.

Key Players

• This will be a good test of CSKA’s ability to break through a compact defensive setup, and they will need the creativity and finishing of players like Oblyakov to get through.
• The midfielder has netted five goals in his 20 Premier League appearances this season, and should be able to find the net here.
• Dynamo’s top-scorer, Gamid Agalarov, has just three goals in 20 Premier League appearances, and the visitors have struggled to find the goals for much of this campaign.
