Athletistic/ Football. In the 5th round of the RPL, Dynamo will meet CSKA. The match will start at 15:00 Moscow time. Who will win the victory?
RPL. 5th round. Dynamo-CSKA. Departure – at 15:00 Moscow time.
Forecast: Dynamo won’t lose
The blue and white have a chance to impose themselves among the contenders for the medals. The team, in case of victory, will bypass CSKA and enter the top three. Dynamo have obvious progress compared to the start of the season. Marcel Licka’s plan works, although with varying degrees of success. “Dynamo” in the last four matches in all tournaments scored twelve goals.

Adventurous football Lichka began to show results. The club always won a historic victory over the “Zenith”, and then could not miss at home the “Baltika”. It was the first “dry” game of the season. The absence of newcomers complicates life a bit. “Dynamo” still does not have a single transfer, and the squad suffers losses. Before the match with CSKA, we learned of the departure of Arsen Zakharyan. The midfielder will continue his career in Spain. This is a very big loss for Dynamo’s tactical scheme. There is no equivalent replacement. It is likely that now Grulev will play from the first minutes. The composition remains relatively deep, but the offensive potential is noticeably reduced. Another question is that in Orenburg Lichka did not abandon his style and with a composition at the level of an outsider of the RPL. That is, there will be no careful football from Dynamo anyway. CSKA, on the other hand, acts pragmatically.
Quarters of Vladimir Fedotov after the defeat in the “Urals” won a series of victories. The club won in Grozny, then beat Lokomotiv and got three points in the confrontation with Sochi. All this against a backdrop of no gain and huge composition problems. The defense suffers the most. The team lost Igor Diveev due to injury. Then we learned of the imminent departure of universal defender Bakhtiyor Zainutdinov. Akinfeev was injured before the game against Sochi. As a result, Glebov, Ryadno and Torop played in the game against Sochi. At the same time, 17-year-old Glebov was injured. We can’t even count on him in the derby. Akinfeev is still in question. The only option on the bench to strengthen the squad is Adolfo Gaich. The rest of the reserves are juniors with no performance experience at a high level.
CSKA in the away match against Dynamo, which gained momentum, is the favorite. With that, we can discuss. If the white-blues have no problem with the implementation, then any result is possible. A huge advantage of Dynamo is the bench. Hosts can simply overwrite the resource after the pause. Fedotov just doesn’t have anyone to reinforce the game. We were lucky to solve all the problems with Lokomotiv in the first half. This alignment will certainly not take place every game. Does not add optimism and the situation with Akinfeev. If Torop goes out, Dynamo’s chances will increase significantly.
