Dynamo on Wednesday gave their all in the cup match with CSKA, but could not transfer the game advantage into goals and for the first time in the season played a goalless draw. Andrey Lunev recorded the sixth clean sheet of the season.

Marcel Licka still cannot count on Milan Majstorovic, Konstantin Tyukavin and Arthur. But El-Mehdi Maouhoub, who missed the cup meeting due to disqualification, is preparing for the match.

Rubin, confidently located in the top eight, decided to do without reinforcement in the winter and quickly completed its performance in the Cup, losing to Ural back in March. But in the championship, Rashid Rakhimov's team won three victories in six rounds, in particular by defeating Spartak and Lokomotiv.

The only really unsuccessful match happened in St. Petersburg, where Kazan played in the minority for almost the entire second half after the removal of Alexei Gritsaenko and eventually lost 0:4. Last weekend, Rubin defeated the railwaymen at home with a score of 1:0 thanks to a stunning pass through the half of the field by Dardan Shabankhadzhai. In this match, Mirlind Daku, the main scorer and leader of Kazan, played 81 minutes on the field, playing with damage.

— Daku and I talked and decided that we should wait, because he wants to finish the season, – Rakhimov said after the game. – But I see his condition – how he struggles with this pain. In principle, he does not train with the team, his physical condition is not optimal. There were a few episodes today that he would have solved earlier. But you can see from his movements that he is in poor condition. He's angry about it himself.

Sunday's match will definitely be missed by Ilya Rozhkov, the defender of the Russian youth national team, due to four yellow cards, Rakhimov reported about interest in him from Spain.

Former Dynamo physical training coach Jose Pastor Verchili has been working at the Kazan club since February.

And the current blue and whites physical training coach Yevgeny Stukalov worked with Kazan midfielder Oleg Ivanov in Terek in 2013.

Of those players with whom Denis Makarov played for Rubin, only one remained in the team – defender Alexei Gritsaenko.

For Licka and Rashid Rakhimov, this will be the fourth personal meeting – the Czech specialist has an advantage of two wins and one draw.

The teams have played 45 official matches, and so far the advantage is on the side of Kazan: 20 wins, 16 draws and 9 defeats.

The top scorers of the confrontation in the history of the national championships are Alejandro Dominguez (4 goals), Derlei, Alexander Ryazantsev, Bibras Natcho, Gokdeniz Karadeniz and Roni (all 3).

In the first round match in Kazan, the blue and white team won the biggest victory over Rubin in Russian history - 4:0 (Konstantin Tyukavin, Arthur, Fabian Balbuena and Yaroslav Gladyshev scored goals).

The main referee of this match will be Sergey Cheban, and linesmen Dmitry Mosyakin and Adlan Khatuyev will help him. Kirill Levnikov and Vasily Kazartsev will be responsible for the video Referee Assistance System (VAR).

This season, a 35-year-old referee from Kashira served our team's away match with Dynamo Makhachkala (1:0).
