Team News

Zenit
FC Krasnodar
  • Russia international Mário Fernandes has been recovering from a knee injury and will not be available for selection here.
  • Defensive midfielder Dmitry Vaslilyev remains sidelined because of injury and might not recover in time for Saturday’s match.
  • Defender Nuraly Alip is again available for selection after missing last time out due to suspension.
  • Kaio Pantaleão has returned to Russia after spending some time in Brazil recovering from a shoulder injury. The Brazilian defender will now undergo an individual training programme until he is ready to return to action.
  • Apart from Kaio, head coach Vladimir Ivic has a full squad to choose from ahead of the upcoming important match at Saint Petersburg.

Prediction

  • FC Zenit won their last four league matches and are hoping to overthrow the current RPL leaders, FC Krasnodar, next time out at Krestovsky.
  • After their defeat at Moscow against CSKA, FC Krasnodar returned to winning ways last time out against Krylya Sovetov to remain at the top of the league table two points ahead of their next opponents.
  • Saturday’s match outcome is almost unpredictable and there are no major favourites here.
  • On a good day, the visitors might cause FC Zenit a major upset, but a draw is the most likely outcome here.
