Dinamo Makhachkala vs Spartak Moscow: prediction & betting odds 21 October 2025

The Matchday 6 clash of the FONBET Russian Cup 2025/26 between Dynamo Makhachkala and Spartak will take place on October 21 at the Anzhi Arena in Kaspiysk. Dynamo Makhachkala vs. Spartak: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Dynamo Makhachkala

In the last round, the team defeated Rostov at home (1-1, 4-2 on penalties). Hasanbi Bidzhiyev's side remains unbeaten in this season's Russian Cup (3 wins and 2 draws in regular time). However, Dynamo has only kept a clean sheet in one of these matches. Furthermore, Makhachkala has failed to keep their goal intact in 9 of their last 10 matches in this tournament. The club tops Group C and will retain this position by earning at least one point in the upcoming game.

  • Both teams scored in 6 of Dynamo Makhachkala's last 7 matches in the national Cup.
  • At home, the team has not lost in regular time in 6 of their last 8 matches in this tournament (3 wins, 3 draws).
  • Dynamo has not scored more than one goal in 6 of their last 7 home games in the Russian Cup.

Predicted lineup for Dynamo Makhachkala (3-4-3)

Timur Magomedov – Imadeddin Azzi, Andres Alarcon, Ilyas Akhmedov – Jemal Tabidze, Radzhab Magomedov, Abdulpasha Dzhabrailov, Arsen Shikhaliyev – Shamil Gadzhiev, Serder Serderov, Miro.

Spartak

In the last round, the Moscow club defeated Pari NN away (2-1). Spartak has not lost in regular time in 7 of their last 9 Russian Cup matches (6 wins, 1 draw), scoring in all these games. Moreover, Dejan Stanković's side has scored at least twice in 6 of these matches. In the standings, the club has secured second place, and only a win in regular time will allow them to climb higher.

  • At least three goals have been scored in 8 of Spartak's last 10 matches in the national Cup.
  • Away from home in this tournament, the club has won 6 of their last 7 matches (1 loss).
  • The team opened the scoring in 5 of their last 7 away games in the Russian Cup.

Predicted lineup for Spartak (3-4-3)

Ilya Pomazun – Egor Guziev, Christopher Wu, Srđan Babić – Oleg Ryabchuk, Nail Umyarov, Christopher Martins, Daniil Khlusevich – Levi Garcia, Theo Bongonda, Daniil Zorin.

Match Prediction: Dynamo Makhachkala vs. Spartak

I believe the Makhachkala side, not spoiled by local successes, will aim to secure the top spot in the group. To achieve this, the team needs to avoid defeat in regular time, which Dynamo has successfully done in their last five matches in this tournament. Moreover, Hasanbi Bidzhiyev's side has not lost at home in 8 official matches (3 wins and 5 draws in regular time). It's worth noting that since their debut at the top level, all of the club's home defeats have been by a narrow margin.

Spartak rarely secures convincing victories away in the Russian Cup. In their last 6 away matches in this tournament, the Moscow side has won 5 times, but only once by a margin of at least two goals. Additionally, encounters with Makhachkala have been challenging for the capital club, winning only 2 of their last 6 official head-to-head matches, both with a 1-0 scoreline.

My prediction: Dynamo Makhachkala with a handicap (+1)

* The starting lineup for each team is based on their previous match in this tournament.
