Team News

Zenit
FC Orenburg
  • Former Russia international Mário Fernandes underwent surgery last week because of neurological problems, according to an official source from the club. The versatile defender will be sidelined for an undisclosed period of time.
  • Brazilian defender Douglas Santos is suspended after receiving his fourth yellow card of the season last time at Krasnodar.
  • Wendel is again available for selection after missing last weekend’s match due to suspension.
  • Defender Arsen Adamov and forward Vladimir Obukhov picked up injuries in last round’s match against FC Pari NN and are doubts here.
  • Belarus U21 international Timofey Martynov is undergoing treatment for a serious knee injury and will be out for an undisclosed period of time.
  • Tomás Muro and Stepan Oganesyan are back in action after recovering from long-term injuries.

Prediction

  • FC Zenit got a very important win last weekend at Krasnodar and now have a four-point advantage at the top of the standings. Sergey Semak’s men remain undefeated in the league after the winter break and are favourites to win here.
  • FC Orenburg defeated FC Pari NN in last round’s match and also remained undefeated in the league after the long winter break. The visitors cannot afford to lose points here, since they are still dangerously close to the playoff relegation zone.
