Team status
Dynamo tied with Akhmat on Tuesday (1:1). Ulvi Babayev opened the scoring with a shot from outside the penalty area, after which Abakar Gadzhiev restored the balance. Dynamo had several good chances at the end, but the Grozny goalkeeper dealt with the threats.
Ivan Lepsky, who went on loan until the end of the season to Samara's Krylia Sovetov, did not take part in this match. Ivan Sergeev, who is gaining form, did not play either, and his debut will most likely come on Saturday's match. And it will be held in an interesting format of "three halves of 45 minutes."
About the opponent
Lokomotiv is following Dynamo's schedule in pre-season matches so far: after three consecutive victories over Tula and Dzerzhinsk Arsenals (3:2 and 3:1), as well as Rodina-2 (4:1), there was a goalless draw in the match with Torpedo, which took place before the car factory workers were excluded from the new RPL season.
As for the composition of the railway workers, the main changes occurred in the attack line. Nair Tiknizyan, Edgar Sevikyan, Timur Suleimanov and Vadim Rakov, who also went on loan to Krylia, left the team. Their places were taken by Nikolai Komlichenko and the Khimki duo of Alexander Rudenko and Zelimkhan Bakayev. However, they have not scored a single goal in the friendly games yet.
- This will be a key test for us before the start of the championship against a good opponent. The head coach of the Russian national team has arrived at Dynamo, so we need to go out on the field to show our best, - Rudenko noted after the game with Torpedo.
Lokomotiv also signed a contract with 21-year-old winger of the Belarusian youth team Alexander Frantsuzov, who will play in his homeland until the end of the year. Mexican defender Cesar Montes, who won the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Monday, is also unlikely to play on Saturday.
