Command Analysis
Dinamo Moscow
Russian FederationLast season Dynamofought desperately for the European club competition but eventually, the White-and-blues let Sochi ahead of them. Just three points short of the fifth line, Dynamo missed out on the European cups, but they will definitely try again this season. Sandro Schwartz's charges started the season confidently: in the first round, Dynamo beat Rostov 2:0, showing high-quality football.
In the second round, Dynamo had a difficult game in Yekaterinburg against Ufa. However, by the 40th minute, the White-and-blues were in the lead with a score of 2:0, both goals scored from penalty kicks by Daniil Fomin. In the second half, Ufa were shorthanded, but they showed character and leveled the score. Sebastian Szymański did not allow the sensation to happen - his header brought Dynamo three points and fourth place in the standings.
CSKA Moscow
Russian FederationCSKA changed three managers over the past year, but so far the prospects of the Army club in the league remain vague. Aleksey Berezutsky was appointed the new manager in the offseason, but so far, under his leadership, CSKA show very average football. In the first round, CSKA defeated Ufa 1:0 at home, but the victory was unconvincing - the Townspeople played a solid game and had many dangerous chances.
In the second round, CSKA faced Lokomotiv. The Army men managed to score first: the free-kick, magnificently performed by Kristijan Bistrović, clearly lifted the spirits of the fans and the team, too. However, after scoring that goal in the first half, CSKA stopped going forward and allowed Lokomotiv to act more aggressively in the attack. Loko scored two goals and took the three points.

Tip and bets
Dynamo have some problems in their game, but overall, they show solid football and earned two victories at the start of the season. The same cannot be said about CSKA: it seems that Berezutsky has not decided on a strategy for his team. CSKA look unconvincing both in attack and in defense. Dynamo look more interesting and use their chances effectively.
We believe Dynamo have a better chance of winning. Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) to Dynamo.
CSKA regularly make mistakes in defense - Lokomotiv scored two goals in the previous round, but easily could have scored more; Ufa were simply unlucky. We think it is almost unrealistic for the Army team to keep a clean sheet in this match, but we don't expect a crushing defeat either. Dynamo will be satisfied with a victory by one goal.
Second wager - Dynamo to win by 1 goal.
