7.2/10CSKA Moscow Overcome Dinamo Makhachkala with Ruthless Second-Half Display
CSKA Moscow claimed a 3-1 away victory over Dinamo Makhachkala at the Anzhi Arena, overturning an early deficit with a clinical second-half performance. Despite an even contest in terms of possession and total shots, CSKA’s superior finishing proved decisive, as they converted three of their five shots on target. Dinamo Makhachkala, who briefly led after a 20th-minute strike, struggled to maintain their momentum and ultimately succumbed to CSKA’s attacking quality. The match began with both sides probing cautiously, but it was CSKA who struck first in the 13th minute. Dinamo responded swiftly, leveling the score just seven minutes later. The game remained finely poised until the second half, when CSKA’s tactical adjustments and attacking intent paid off. Goals in the 69th and 79th minutes put the result beyond doubt, as Dinamo’s resistance faded and CSKA’s experience shone through.

Dinamo Makhachkala
Dinamo Makhachkala showed early promise, matching CSKA Moscow in both possession and overall shot count. Their 4-2-3-1 formation allowed them to press effectively in midfield and create chances, but they struggled to convert opportunities into goals, managing just two shots on target from 11 attempts. After equalizing in the 20th minute, Dinamo’s intensity waned, and defensive lapses in the second half proved costly. Despite a spirited first-half display, Dinamo’s inability to contain CSKA’s attacks after the break was their undoing. The hosts also picked up three yellow cards as frustration mounted, and their attacking threat diminished as the match wore on.
Key Players
Strengths
Weaknesses
CSKA Moscow
CSKA Moscow executed their game plan with discipline, utilizing a 5-4-1 formation that provided defensive solidity and allowed for swift transitions. They edged possession (51%) and were far more efficient in attack, registering five shots on target and converting three. After taking the lead early, CSKA absorbed Dinamo’s pressure and then asserted themselves decisively in the second half. The visitors’ tactical flexibility and clinical finishing were key, as they capitalized on Dinamo’s defensive errors to secure a comfortable win. Four yellow cards indicate a combative approach, but CSKA’s organization and ability to seize key moments made the difference.

Tactical Analysis
Dinamo Makhachkala lined up in a 4-2-3-1, aiming to control the midfield and support lone striker G. Agalarov. Their pressing was effective early on, but as the match progressed, they struggled to break down CSKA’s five-man defense. The hosts’ wide players tried to stretch play, but CSKA’s compact shape limited clear-cut chances. CSKA Moscow’s 5-4-1 provided defensive security while allowing wing-backs to join attacks. In the second half, CSKA pushed their midfielders higher, exploiting spaces left by Dinamo’s tiring midfield. Tactical substitutions and a more aggressive press after the hour mark shifted the balance, leading to two decisive goals. Set pieces and transitions were also a source of danger for the visitors.
Turning Point
CSKA’s second goal in the 69th minute, which broke Dinamo’s resistance and shifted momentum decisively.
Man of the Match
I. Oblyakov
Controlled the midfield, contributed to both defensive solidity and attacking transitions, and was instrumental in CSKA’s second-half dominance.
Dinamo Makhachkala vs CSKA Moscow: Match Preview
Dinamo Makhachkala arrive in mid-table with a 4-0-3 league record, but their form string of WLLLW underlines a streaky trajectory. Their home numbers are positive (2W, 1L, 4:2 goal difference), yet they face a CSKA Moscow side sitting second, unbeaten, and with a defensive record that travels well (just 3 conceded in 2 away games). Motivation is high for both: Dinamo seek a statement scalp to climb the table, while CSKA look to keep pace with leaders Krasnodar.
The statistical matchup is shaped by Dinamo’s high-scoring profile—averaging 1.71 scored and 1.43 conceded per game, with 71% of their matches going over 2.5 goals. CSKA’s attack is more measured (1.57 scored per game), but their defence is notably tighter (1.0 conceded per game, 29% clean sheet rate). Both teams average over 14 shots and 4.8 shots on target per match in their last five, suggesting neither will sit back. Set piece threat is moderate: Dinamo average 5.2 corners, CSKA 4.0 per game recently.
The model expects CSKA’s superior defensive structure and H2H record to decide a contest with goals at both ends. Dinamo’s home advantage and shot volume should keep them competitive, but CSKA’s consistency and ability to edge close games—plus five wins in the last six meetings—tip the probabilities in their favour for a 2-1 away win.

Final Verdict
Dinamo Makhachkala 1–2 CSKA MoscowThe model projects a 2-1 win for CSKA Moscow, anchored by their unbeaten league run and clear H2H superiority. The single strongest data point is CSKA’s five wins in the last six meetings, suggesting a tactical and psychological edge. The most plausible way this goes wrong is if Dinamo’s volatile attack, which has produced 12 goals in 7 league games, capitalises on CSKA’s occasional defensive lapses and swings the goal count above expectation.
