Team News

Zenit
FC Orenburg
  • Attacking midfielder Maksim Glushenkov picked up another injury in the Russian Cup match in midweek and is a doubt here.
  • Defenders Rodrigão and Sergey Volkov are undergoing treatment for long-term injuries and will be out for a long period of time.
  • Midfielder Ilzat Akhmetov is being treated for a persistent injury and is a doubt for Saturday’s match.
  • Russian defender Danila Prokhin is suspended after reaching the yellow card limit in last round’s match against FC Pari NN.
  • Argentinian midfielder Gabriel Florentin remains sidelined due to a long-term injury and is unlikely to feature here.
  • Goalkeeper Nikolay Sysuev has been recovering from a recent surgery and will miss Saturday’s match at Saint Petersburg.

Prediction

  • FC Zenit lost a league match for the first time this season last weekend against FC Krasnodar. Sergey Semak’s men have already bounced back in their Russian Cup match on Wednesday and are firm favourites to win here.
  • FC Orenburg failed to win any of their last nine league matches and remain in a perilous position in the standings. David Deogracia’s job might be on the line in case of another defeat on Saturday.
