Team News

Krylya Sovetov Samara
Zenit
  • 35-year old goalkeeper Sergey Pesyakov joined Krylya Sovetov after seven seasons at FC Rostov.
  • Defender Glenn Bijl, who missed a great deal of matches last season because of injury, is now fully fit and will surely be of the utmost importance for the Samara outfit out here.
  • According to recent reports, head coach Igor Osinkin has a full squad to choose from ahead of the first match of the season.
  • FC Zenit defeated FC Krasnodar last weekend to win their fifth consecutive Russian Super Cup.
  • Evgeny Latyshonok, Sergey Volkov, Yuri Gorshkov and Maxim Glushenkov have all joined the Saint Petersburg outfit this summer.
  • Brazilian defender Rodrigão picked up a knock during last weekend’s match and is a doubt here.
  • Defender Mário Fernandes is back in training after recovering from injury and according to coach William de Oliveira, he might be available for selection next time out.

Prediction

  • Krylya Sovetov didn’t have any major signings this summer and lost Nikita Saltykov, who returned to Lokomotiv Moscow after a season long-loan. They will need to be at their very best in order to upset FC Zenit out here.
  • FC Zenit started the new season with flying colours, defeating FC Krasnodar in the Russian Super Cup and are extremely motivated ahead of Saturday’s match at Samara. Sergey Semak’s men are favourites to win next time out.
