Command Analysis
Dinamo Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent Form
Dynamo, having participated in the championship race last season, certainly has no intention of lowering its standards as it sets its sights high for the new season. The ambitions match the quality of the squad, bolstered by several key player signings over the summer. However, the team still lacks consistency. Despite this, Marcelo Lichka's squad remains close to the top group and is capable of improvement.
After a few early mistakes, Dynamo has avoided a crisis and currently holds the fourth spot in the standings. They are three points behind third-place Zenit, while Lokomotiv and Krasnodar have a four-point lead. This gap still leaves room for success. A recent 1-0 victory over Makhachkala's Dynamo has brought the white-blue squad within striking distance of the top three.
Earlier this week, Dynamo faced Spartak in a derby for the Cup. The outcome of this match could determine the group winner, but it didn't unfold in a way favorable to Dynamo. Despite displaying solid football, the red-whites showed resilience, staging a comeback in the final moments to win 3-2, leaving Dynamo in second place in the table.
Injuries and Suspensions
Chaves and Grulev are currently sidelined due to injuries.
Interesting Betting Trends

CSKA Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent Form
CSKA Moscow did not make significant reinforcements over the summer, but they secured a few key transfers with the new season kicking off. The standout signing is undoubtedly Miralem Pjanic, who joined as a free agent. The experienced midfielder is poised to bolster the squad. However, despite this addition, the Army Men still fall short of being title contenders.
Currently, CSKA sits fifth in the standings with 17 points, trailing fourth-placed Dynamo by three points and sitting seven points behind Zenit. This gap is substantial, and with each passing round, the chances of competing for even a bronze medal diminish. In the last round, Marko Nikolic's team achieved a 3-0 victory over Akhmat, marking their fifth win of the season.
With little hope of contending for championship medals, the Cup takes on increased importance for CSKA. Midweek, the Army Men faced Pari Nizhny Novgorod in the fifth round and secured a comfortable 2-0 victory away. This win propelled them to the top of their group; however, CSKA has yet to guarantee a playoff spot in the RPL, as Akhmat and Krasnodar trail by just two points.
Disciplinary Actions and Injuries
Muhin, Zhamaletdinov, and Yakovlev are currently injured.

2.55Tip and bets
After their defeat to Spartak, Dynamo is determined to bounce back in this consecutive derby, and the hosts certainly will have the motivation. The competition in the championship race allows no room for error. Traditionally, the White-Blues are very strong in attack, leaving CSKA with limited chances to defend effectively today. However, the Army Men have been scoring frequently in their recent matches, often finding the net in derbies against Dynamo, so this encounter is expected to be high-scoring.
We believe the match will be high-scoring. Our prediction is over three goals. This betting option offers odds of 2.15.
Outcome Bet
Dinamo is not fielding its strongest lineup for the Cup, so CSKA is unlikely to count on the opponent's fatigue, especially since Dinamo has a solid reserve. In terms of gameplay, the white-blue squad appears quite capable and holds an advantage over CSKA in player selection. Winning three points in the derby and beating the army team for the fourth consecutive match is well within Dinamo's reach.
Bet – Asian handicap (0) on Dinamo. This wager offers odds of 1.79.
Combined Bet
Dinamo is clearly the favorite. The white-blues significantly outperform their opponent in player selection, quality of reserves, and overall stability, having left CSKA with little chance in their recent encounters. Today, the Dinamo team has what it takes to secure three points, but a clean sheet victory seems unlikely given their traditional defensive issues and CSKA's recent scoring form.
Bet – Dinamo to win, and both teams to score. This wager offers odds of 4.20.
