Sports weekend with Izvestia
Football
The Russian Championship. Lokomotiv — Dynamo (Moscow)
The central match of the sixth round of the Russian Premier League will be the Moscow derby between Lokomotiv and Dynamo. Both teams did not start the season in the best way. Dynamo, due to several misfires, are in the middle of the standings, occupying only seventh place. But Loko's situation is even worse: the team has never won, is stuck at the bottom of the table and is facing the prospect of fighting for survival, especially after the sale of a number of key players. The upcoming derby will determine which of the teams will embark on a path out of the crisis.
August 29, 20:00, Russian Railways Arena Stadium (Moscow).

Pancake Cup
Another pre-season tournament is taking place in Omsk. At the Blinov Cup, the local Avangard gathered in the company of the winner of the last two Gagarin Cups, Yaroslavl Lokomotiv, as well as Novosibirsk Sibir, Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik and Cherepovets Severstal. The last three teams do not have the same budgets as the hosts and the Ironworkers. But last season, they all reached the playoffs and fought the favorites there.
