Last week, Dynamo defended their lead over Zenit in St. Petersburg and advanced to the FONBET Russian Cup semifinals despite a 0-1 defeat. Now, in March, our team will test their strength in a two-legged tie against Spartak.

Roland Gusev deployed a three-man central defense, including Nicolás Marichal, who was playing his 100th match for Dynamo. Rubens, meanwhile, played in the defensive midfield for the first time for our club, a role he often played in the Brazilian championship.

Akhmat, fourth in their group, had already been eliminated from the Cup competition and had been focused all week on preparing for Sunday's match, which is of great importance to the Grozny team. After a 2-2 draw at VTB Arena, they had suffered four consecutive defeats, extending their winless streak in the Russian Premier League to six matches.

In the final round, Akhmat suffered a narrow away defeat to Rubin Kazan, failing to register a single shot on target and creating only one scoring opportunity. As a result, the Grozny team dropped to 12th place, closing in on the playoff zone.

Stanislav Cherchesov, however, was pleased with the quality of their performance: "In preparation for Rubin, we changed our system, as we already know each other after three matches against this team. I'll give the guys credit – they executed what we planned." There are no complaints about their dedication or the structure of their game. It's hard to find words after games like these. There's no result, but the quality of the game was satisfactory."

Center defender Nader Gundri will miss Sunday's match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Winger Maxim Samorodov, who missed the previous match with a cold, trained with the rest of the team this week, while Ousmane Ndong and Anas El Mahraoui, who are recovering from injuries, had limited training.

Akhmat forward Georgy Melkadze and Dynamo coach Sergei Parshivlyuk played together twice for Spartak-2 in 2016.

Akhmat's attacking midfielder Abakar Gadzhiev is a graduate of the Dynamo Academy branch in Makhachkala.

Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov and Maxim Samorodov are the current players of the national team of Kazakhstan.

In head-to-head matches, we have the upper hand: 14 wins, 11 losses, and 12 draws. The goal difference is 46:37 in favor of the white-blues.

The top scorers in head-to-head matches in the history of the national championship are: Kevin Kuranyi (6 goals), Konstantin Tyukavin (4 goals), and Igor Semshov (3 goals).

The match was entrusted to Jan Bobrovsky, who will be assisted by linesmen Alexey Stipidi and Maxim Belokur. Andrey Fisenko and Yevgeny Bulanov will be responsible for the video assistance to referees (VAR) system.

This season, the 36-year-old referee from St. Petersburg served the first round match between Dynamo and Baltika (1:1).
