Team status
The blue and whites dominated the away match with Sochi on Sunday, struck 28 shots at the opponent's goal, but scored only once and conceded from the single shot on target (1:1). "We had chances in the first and in the second half, but if you don't score, they score for you. And the goal came from nothing. There were more good things, it's not easy to single out something bad, except for the result," Valery Karpin summed up.
Denis Makarov played the best match in recent times, twice sending the ball into the net (the first goal was canceled due to a slight offside by Ivan Sergeev). The goal scored was his 20th in our team's T-shirt and the 1400th for Dynamo in the Russian championships.
About the opponent
You can read about the summer changes in Murad Musayev's team in the previous preview for the match of the 2nd round of the championship, in which John Cordoba scored the only goal in the end. After that, the Krasnodar team went to Orenburg, where they struggled a lot on the artificial turf of the Gazovik stadium.
For 70 minutes, Krasnodar played with an advantage, albeit not obvious – they hit the crossbar, scored a goal canceled due to offside, Cordoba missed from a few meters. Everything was decided by the non-standard replacement of Eduard Spertsyan with Nikita Krivtsov, who a minute later scored the only goal of the match with a powerful shot into the near corner. Thus, Krasnodar won three victories in four rounds and rose to second place in the table.
— I am glad that we have achieved victory. Good work has been done both on the field and in training. The only thing upsetting is Lucas Olasa's injury, and Moses suffered a slight injury in the pregame warm-up. We will fly to Moscow right away, we will prepare for Dynamo and deal with all the problems. We definitely need rotation. It will be very difficult in Moscow three days after such a match and such a field, — Musaev said after the match.
In addition to Olasa, the newcomer Gaetan Perren, who was found to have a quadriceps thigh muscle injury, will definitely not play on Wednesday.

History of meetings
This will be the third cup confrontation of the teams in history. The season before last, they also met at the group stage – Dynamo snatched victory at home with a score of 4:3, and in Krasnodar, the Bulls took revenge by winning a penalty shootout (1:1, 4:2).
Of the players who remained in the teams, Daniil Fomin, Bitello, John Cordoba, Nikita Krivtsov and Kevin Lenini scored goals in those games.
