Dynamo vs Dinamo Makhachkala: Dinamo Makhachkala to win
Dynamo sit on a 1.35 expected‑goals mark at home while Dinamo Makhachkala boast a 2.0 expected‑goals rate on the road. Dinamo arrive on a four‑game winning streak, Dynamo have only a draw and a loss in their last two league outings.
Both sides enter the clash with contrasting recent form – Dynamo have failed to win in their last two fixtures, whereas Dinamo have collected four straight victories. Injuries to Dynamo’s J. Caceres and L. Chavez and to Dinamo’s I. Shumakhov, N. Voronin and J. Dapo add further variables to the encounter.
Lars's Verdict
Dinamo’s 2.0 expected‑goals and 52.5% win probability outweigh Dynamo’s 1.35 expected‑goals and 25.8% win chance, making a Dinamo win the logical pick.
Show the maths
With Dynamo averaging 1.35 expected goals and Dinamo Makhachkala averaging 2.0, the model gives a 64.0% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 36.0% it gives to at least one side being kept out.
Show the maths

Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Dynamo at 25.8%, the draw at 21.7%, and Dinamo Makhachkala at 52.5% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 9.5% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5
Dynamo
Dynamo’s recent form shows a draw 0‑0 against Krylia Sovetov at home followed by a 1‑2 loss away to Baltika. The inability to secure a win in either match, especially the goalless draw on home soil, underscores their limited attacking output – a factor that supports the pick of a Dinamo win.
Dinamo Makhachkala
Dinamo Makhachkala have collected four wins: 1‑0 away at Ural, 2‑0 at home versus Ural, 2‑1 away at Fakel and 2‑1 home versus Lokomotiv. Scoring in each game and conceding at most one goal demonstrates a potent and consistent attack, reinforcing the expectation of a Dinamo victory.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings Dynamo have three wins (including a 4‑0 triumph) and Dinamo have one win (1‑0) with one draw (2‑2). The recent 3‑0 Dynamo win in November 2025 is the latest result, but the overall head‑to‑head still favors Dynamo, which slightly tempers the Dinamo win probability.
