Under the leadership of acting head coach Rolan Gusev, Dynamo won two consecutive victories. Only Sandro Schwartz started better than him in the Russian history of Dynamo, who had three wins in three opening matches.

Last Sunday, the blue and whites took the long-awaited victory in the derby with Spartak, scoring two unanswered goals. Jorge Carrascal scored a penalty and an assist for Danil Glebov, who scored his debut goal as part of Dynamo and was recognized as the best player of the match.

We also note the confident play of Alexander Kutitskiy on the left flank of the defense and the return to the field of El-Mehdi Maouhoub after a minor injury.

In its debut season, the Togliatti team performed very confidently and two rounds before the finish of the championship secured a place in the RPL for the next season. It happened after a home comeback victory over the motivated Akhmat with a score of 3:2.

Artyom Dzyuba, who is experiencing another youth, even though he interrupted his series of four matches with goals scored, made an assist. Next to him, plays the talented 18-year-old Dmitry Pestryakov, who scored a goal from a rebound after Dzyuba's shot.

— When I say that we don't really look at the standings and just want to win every match, this is absolutely true on my part, – said Akron head coach Zaur Tedeev. – I just want the team to get better and stronger with every game, every day. And in the remaining two matches we must also set the task to win.

Theoretically, Tedeev's team can still climb to the top half of the table, but probably the main task will be to be above Krylia Sovetov, which they are now bypassing by five points. By the way, in the derby of the Samara region both times Akron celebrated victories with a score of 2:0.

In the game with Akhmat, the main goalkeeper of the team, Alexander Vasyutin, was injured and was replaced by Sergey Volkov during the break. Disqualified striker Gilson Benshimol and team captain Konstantin Savichev will definitely not play on Sunday.

Both teams have defenders named Roberto Fernandez – they crossed paths on the field only once in last year's dramatic game in Kaliningrad, when Dynamo beat Baltika, and our Roberto scored a goal.

Yaroslav Gladyshev started his career at the Yuri Konoplev Academy, whose management structure included Akron as a founder in 2022.

Akron forward Vladimir Khubulov is the older brother of striker Alexander Khubulov, who plays for Dynamo-2.

The teams played only twice. In the draw of the Russian Cup of the 2022/23 season, Akron prevailed in a penalty shootout (0:0, 1:4), and in the match of the first round of this championship in Samara, the precise shots of Konstantin Tyukavin and Yaroslav Gladyshev brought a victory to our team (2:0).

The meeting was entrusted to Yegor Egorov, who will be assisted by assistant judges Dmitry Safyan and Hamid Talaev. Vera Opeikina and Artem Lyubimov will be responsible for the video referee Assistance System (VAR).

Previously, the 31-year-old referee from Nizhny Novgorod served only once in a match with the participation of the blue and white, in which they beat Dynamo Makhachkala (2:1).
