With a completely injury-free group to choose from, the Dynamo Moscow boss Marcel Lička doesn’t have any fitness worries at all before this clash.

It’s our belief that Dinamiki could decide to play in a 4-3-3 lineup, giving starts to Anton Shunin, Eli Dasa, Fabian Balbuena, Roberto Fernández, Dmitri Skopintsev, Jorge Carrascal, Luis Chávez, Diego Laxalt, Denis Makarov, Konstantin Tyukavin and Bitello.
