The blue and white on Saturday won the first major victory of the season, leaving Paris NN no chance at home (3:0). Denis Makarov scored in the third match of the championship in a row, Daniil Fomin scored his 35th goal for Dynamo, and Nicolas Marichal scored for the first time during the game in Russia. Another defender Juan Caceres scored two assists, and Igor Leshchuk was the first "cracker" of the season.

The Dynamo squad was replenished with midfielder of the Russian national team Anton Miranchuk, who returned home after a season in the Swiss "Sion". The 29-year-old midfielder entered the field for 25 minutes and was close to scoring.

In the summer, a mini-revolution took place in Krylia – after five years at the head of the team, Igor Osinkin left it, and with him half of the starting lineup: Ivan Lomaev, Glenn Bale, Ilya Gaponov, Roman Yezhov, Ivan Sergeev, Dmitry Tsypchenko, plus Igor Dmitriev, Anton Zinkovsky and Ulvi Babaev returned after the end of the leases.

To reassemble the team was entrusted to Magomed Adiev, who at the beginning of the pre-season camp had to make do with a minimum number of players. Gradually, newcomers began to arrive: Nikita Kokarev, Sergey Bozhin, Alexey Sutormin and Jimmy Marin came as free agents, and Ivan Lepskiy, Ilzat Akhmetov, Nikita Chernov and Vadim Rakov were leased.

The more unexpected was the successful start of the Samaritans in the season – in the first four rounds of the RPL they scored eight points and were able to beat Krasnodar away in the Cup (2:1). "Wings" showed excellent implementation, and the real discovery was Rakov, who distinguished himself 4 times.

But the bright streak was followed by a black one: a loss in a penalty shootout from Sochi in a cup match, in which Lepskiy scored with his head after the standard and made a post-match eleven-meter shot, an unsuccessful game in the championship with Akhmat on the road (1:3) and the largest home defeat in Russian history from Krasnodar (0:6).

— Now psychology will come to the fore. The guys in the locker room were depressed. We owe the fans a lot. It is clear that we need to reload the squad before the match with Dynamo and make the right decisions. I have an understanding of what to do and how to get out of this situation," Adiev said after the match.

Central midfielder Sergei Babkin, who received two yellow cards in the first two rounds of the group stage, will not help the Wings on Wednesday.

The teams have met 10 times in the Russian Cup, and so far our team has a slight advantage: 4 wins, 3 losses and 3 draws. Last season, the teams also crossed paths in the group stage, and both meetings ended with crushing victories for Dynamo – 5:1 at VTB Arena and 6:3 in Samara.

The top scorers of the confrontation are Yaroslav Gladyshev and El-Mehdi Mauhub (3 goals each), Viktor Okishor, Denis Makarov and Vladimir Pisarsky (2 goals each).

Pavel Shadykhanov will be entrusted to serve the match, who will be assisted by assistant referees Dmitry Safyan and Dmitry Malikov. Vitaly Meshkov and Roman Safyan will be responsible for the video referee Assistance System (VAR).

Last season, the 39-year-old referee from Moscow served 4 Dynamo matches, in which the blue and white beat Akron (2:0), Paris NN (3:1), Khimki (4:1) and Makhachkala Dynamo (4:0).
