Dynamo won their third victory in a row this week, defeating Grozny Akhmat in the cup meeting (3:0). Ivan Sergeev repeated the record for goals in the Cup of Russia, Konstantin Tyukavin came in 11th place in the list of the best scorers in the history of Dynamo, and Yaroslav Gladyshev scored for the first time since March.

– We played very well for the first 25 minutes, controlled the ball, then we started making easy mistakes and allowed the opponent to create sharpness. It's good that we scored at the right moment right before the break, and in the second half we scored twice more. Both forwards scored, which is very important for us. We are happy with today's match, and now the full focus is on Sunday's derby with Spartak," Sandro Schwarz said after the match.

Spartak, with the arrival of Juan Carlos Carcedo, was transformed, took the Russian Cup last season and was minutes away from winning the Super Cup at the start of the current one, but lost on penalties to Zenit. But in the 5th round of the championship, the red and white took convincing revenge with a score of 2:0 and are now the closest pursuers of Krasnodar.

One of the goals in that match was scored by Roman Zobnin, who was experiencing his second youth. The 32-year-old all-rounder also distinguished himself on Wednesday, equalizing the score in the cup match with Rodina. As a result, Spartak won a strong-willed victory with a score of 3:1 and topped its group.

– Roman is our captain, a real example for everyone else in all components. This is a real Spartak player, one of our best football players. And if he plays like 10 years ago, then this is primarily his merit," Carcedo said after the match.

And it was not yet at full capacity that newcomer Mirlind Daku, who replaced Anton Zabolotny and Levi Garcia, started playing. The Albanian striker scored his debut goal from the penalty spot in the last round, bringing his team a draw. Of the summer acquisitions, we also note the Spanish defender Victor Parada and the return from rent of Danil Prutsev.

But the red-whites also have losses. Ruslan Litvinov was diagnosed with damage to the internal lateral ligament of the knee joint after the game with Zenit, Christopher Martins has been missing due to injury for almost a month, and Ezequiel Barko is being treated for bronchitis, and his participation in the derby remains questionable. Nail Umyarov and Srdjan Babic also missed the match with Rodina for medical reasons.

Anton Miranchuk trained at the Spartak Academy in 2010-2011.

Sergey Parshivlyuk is a product of Academy of Spartak, with whom he became the silver medalist of the Russian championship three times.

Spartak captain Roman Zobnin started his career at Dynamo, for which he played 53 matches.

In the national championships, the rivals held 167 meetings with each other: 61 of them were won by Spartak, 43 by Dynamo, and a draw was recorded 63 more times.

The top scorers of the confrontation in the history of the national championships are Sergey Solovyov (11 goals), Sergey Salnikov (11), Vasily Kartsev (9), Konstantin Beskov, Nikita Simonyan, Sergey Rodionov and Quincy Promes (7 each).

Kirill Levnikov will officiate the derby along with linesmen Dmitry Ermakov and Rustam Mukhtarov. Vasily Kazartsev and Anatoly Zhabchenko will be responsible for the Video Referee Assistance System (VAR).

Last season, the 42-year-old referee from St. Petersburg worked in the field at Dynamo's matches with CSKA (1:3), Lokomotiv (3:5), Krylia Sovetov (4:0) and the return cup match with Spartak (0:1).
