Team News: Dinamo Makhachkala
Thanks to a largely available group, there is just the sole fitness problem for the Dinamo Makhachkala boss Khasanbi Bidzhiyev to be concerned about. Aleksandr Sandrachuk (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing here.
We reckon that Dinamo Makhachkala seem most likely to begin the game with a 3-5-2 system, starting Timur Magomedov, Mutalip Alibekov, Valentin Paltsev, Jemal Tabidze, Mohamed Azzi, M. Hosseinnejad, Nikita Glushkov, Houssem Mrezigue, Temirkan Sundukov, Gamid Agalarov and Egas Cacintura.
