Team News

Zenit
Lokomotiv Moscow
  • Brazilian midfielder Wendel picked up a knock in last round’s match at Samara, but he is already fully recovered and will be able to play against Lokomotiv Moscow next time out.
  • Defender Sergey Volkov and goalkeeper Mikhail Kerzhakov are being treated for long-term injuries and will not feature here.
  • Maksim Glushenkov has been recovering from a hip injury and will probably be out for another couple of weeks.
  • Versatile defender Ilya Samoshnikov is suspended after receiving his fourth yellow card of the season last time out against FC Khimki.
  • Brazilian defender Lucas Fasson has been recovering from a long-term injury and will not travel with the team to Saint Petersburg.

Prediction

  • FC Zenit hammered FC Akron in last round’s match and are extremely motivated ahead of Sunday’s clash against Lokomotiv. Sergey Semak’s men are slight favourites to get the three points here.
  • Lokomotiv's splendid run was halted by FC Khimki in the Moscow city derby last weekend. Mikhail Galaktyonov’s men changed places with FC Zenit in the standings after last round’s defeat, but they are surely hoping to bounce back and cause the home side a major upset next time out.
  • Although FC Zenit might have a slight upper hand, a draw is the most likely outcome here.
