On Monday, the blue and white had a difficult away match with Akhmat, having won back in the time added to the second half (1:1). Igor Leshchuk became the first goalkeeper in the history of Dynamo and the Russian Championship who managed to score from the game. After a corner kick, Igor won the aereal duel, the ball flew 11.5 meters up and landed in the goal.

Andrei Lunev, Fabian Balbuena, Denis Makarov, Luka Gagnidze and Milan Majstorovic missed the meeting for medical reasons. Majstorovic underwent surgery for chronic ARS syndrome this week.

Dynamo visited Khimki quite recently – at the end of October. Since then, the Moscow Region team has lost only once to Rostov (1:3) and tied two matches with Fakel (1:1) and Krasnodar (2:2). In the last round, for the second time in the season, Khimki prevailed over Lokomotiv (3:1), and won a well-deserved guest victory.

Lucas Vera scored an excellent form, having scored a goal + a pass in the last two matches. But it was not without a fly in the ointment – the main red-black forward Anton Zabolotny received his fourth yellow card of the season, who will now miss Sunday's meeting. Defender Diego Luna, who is out until the end of the season due to a cruciate ligament injury, will also not play.

— Probably, the coach is not as good as the players yet, – said the head coach of Khimki Frank Artiga. – In football, difficult situations often arise that require difficult decisions. We have been through this, but now there is stability in the club. We will continue to work, there is a very important game with Dynamo ahead and a fateful off-season in every sense.

Khimki midfielder Lukas Vera in the 2022/23 season played under the guidance of Marcel Licka in Orenburg.

Khimki defender Sergei Terekhov played 43 matches for the main team in two visits to Dynamo.

Sergey Parshivlyuk and the attacking player of the Moscow Region team Zelimkhan Bakaev crossed paths in Spartak-2 in 2016.

For Licka and Frank Artiga, this will be the second meeting in the Russian championship. In the first round match, Dynamo won the shootout with a score of 4:3.

The teams met 16 times: blue and white won ten victories, drew three times and suffered three defeats. The goal difference is 30:13.

The top scorers of the confrontation are Fedor Smolov (3 goals), Konstantin Tyukavin, Yaroslav Gladyshev, Vyacheslav Grulev, Daniil Fomin, Nicolas Ngamaleu, Igor Semshov and Alexander Kerzhakov (all 2 goals each).

Pavel Shadykhanov will serve the meeting, and he will be assisted by assistant judges Dmitry Mosyakin and Andrei Bolotenkov. Alexey Amelin and Roman Galimov will be responsible for the video Referee Assistance System (VAR).

This season, the 38-year-old referee from Moscow served the matches of the blue and white with Akron (2:0) and Paris NN (3:1).
