“Dynamo” arrived in Hamburg on Tuesday — by charter flight from Turkey, where the “white-blues” were preparing for the second half of the season and, in particular, for today’s match. And yesterday, both the Kyivans and the Rigans trained on the field of the “Volksparkstadion”.
Several players from “Dynamo”—defenders Denis Popov and Vladislav Dubinchak, as well as midfielders Vladimir Brazhko, Vitaly Buyalsky, and Nikolai Shaparenko—will be forced to watch the match “Dynamo” — RFS from the stands. The head coach Alexander Shovkovskiy mentioned these personnel losses of his team. In addition, the goalkeeper Georgiy Bushchan is no longer with “Dynamo” — he transferred to Saudi Arabian “Al-Shabab” yesterday.
Both “Dynamo” and RFS have already lost their chances of advancing to the Europa League playoffs. However, the results shown by the Latvian team in this tournament are better than those of the Kyivans: RFS earned 5 points (1 win, 2 draws, 4 losses) in 7 matches of the main stage of the Europa League, while “Dynamo” has only one point (0 wins, 1 draw, 6 losses).
The match “Dynamo” — RFS will be officiated by a team of referees from Israel led by field referee Orel Grinfeld. The video assistant referee system (VAR) will also be in use during the game, managed by Juan Martinez from Spain.
