If we remember the first match between these two this season, It ended in favour of CSKA – 2:0. And it was, to put it mildly, not a very good game. CSKA won, but their football lacked any real quality. Today, perhaps, even with low-quality football, CSKA have to win the game and take all three points. We remember that before the last match CSKA hadn’t won against Dinamo for ages. Dinamo coach Andrei Kobelev said on club TV that the team will play for the result. And this means they won’t play an open game against CSKA.
This gives us the idea that there won’t be a lot of goals in this match. But I will still bet on CSKA’s win. They are very motivated, they will be very tuned in to this game. And, most likely, CSKA will win. I’ll back it with under 4.5 goals in the match, as I really can’t see scores like 4:1, 3:2, etc.
