Dinamo scored only two goals combined in their home defeats to Metallurg and Ak Bars.
Mikhail Kravets criticised Barys after their third consecutive defeat and demanded better execution from the opening shift. He rejected the suggestion that a five-day gap caused the latest loss. Barys last played away in Yekaterinburg and are continuing a nine-game road trip; Dinamo have the shorter immediate journey into this fixture.
