Team News

Zenit
Fakel
  • Gustavo Mantuan picked up an injury in last round’s match at Sochi, but he is back in training and will certainly be in the starting line-up.
  • Goalkeeper Daniil Odoevskiy has been recovering from a recent injury and is likely to miss out here.
  • Defender Rodrigão has been struggling with an adductor injury and will miss Saturday’s match.
  • Forward Georgi Gongadze sustained an injury last weekend against Krylya Sovetov, but has already trained with the team yesterday and will probably be able to help the team in Saturday's crucial match at Saint Petersburg.
  • Midfielder Andrey Mendel was also injured in last round’s match and the club didn’t reveal any information on his current condition. Mendel is a doubt here.

Prediction

  • FC Zenit got nothing better than three draws in their last three matches and haven’t much to play for here, except for pride. Sergey Semak’s men had a great season and won the RPL title for the fifth time in a row.
  • FC Fakel defeated Krylya Sovetov last time out and have escaped for now from the play-off relegation zone in the standings. The Voronezh outfit cannot afford to lose here, but the home side are firm favourites to get the three points on Saturday.
