Dynamo's Krill and Dmitri Kombarov, Dmitri Kombarov and Igor Semshov will go toe-to-toe against Krysy’ midfield of Ruslan Adzhindzhal, Anton Bober, Andrei Tikhonov with Czech Republic veteran JJiří Jarošík and Oleg Ivanov. Krysy striking tandem of Yevgeny Savin and Jan Koller could be the key to this critical match. Both clubs are reporting no significant injuries.
