Dynamo: keeping rotation in mind
Only three Second League representatives have reached the Ukrainian Cup round of 16. Kyivans will face one of them. Last time the White-Blues won the national Cup in 2007.
Taking into consideration Dynamo tight schedule, the match in Sverdlovsk is a good opportunity to give game practice to players, who lack it.
Andriy Yarmolenko won’t take the field because of suspension. Denys Harmash and Yevhen Selin keep recovering.
