Team status
On Tuesday, Dynamo held a tense cup derby with Lokomotiv, losing at home with a score of 1:2. El-Mehdi Mauhub scored his fifth goal in this cup campaign, coming close to the leader of the scorer race Timur Suleymanov. Vyacheslav Grulev came on as a substitute in the second half, having played his 150th match in the blue and white.
Unfortunately, due to injuries, Dmitry Skopintsev and Roberto Fernandez could not finish the match, and Jorge Carrascal received a laceration in his left foot. Andrei Lunev, Milan Majstorovic, Diego Laxalt and Bitello also continue to recover.
About the opponent
Nizhny Novgorod residents were systematically preparing for Saturday's match, as they took 4th place in the group stage of the Cup and finished their performance in the tournament. However, this happened even before Viktor Goncharenko joined the club, who replaced Sasha Ilich a month ago. Already with the Belarusian specialist in the 6th round, the team beat Krasnodar on the road in a meaningless match (2:1), sending him on the Way to the regions.
In the championship, with the arrival of Goncharenko, the situation also began to improve: a draw with Rostov (1:1) and a defeat from Spartak (0:2) was followed by an away victory over Akhmat (2:0), which brought the team to 9th place in the table.
However, the Grozny match was not without losses – the main central defender Nikita Kakkoev and forward Ognen Ozhegovich received their fourth yellow cards. Also, Vladislav Karapuzov, who received two disqualification matches for a gross foul against Ezequiel Barko, will not play against his former club.
But Alexander Udaltsov, the sports director of Nizhny Novgorod, who moved from Dynamo in June after 8 years of work in the main team and housing and communal services, as well as his deputy, the favorite of Dynamo fans, Vladimir Rykov, will come to the well-known arena.
