Team News

Zenit
Lokomotiv Moscow
  • Russia international Zelimkhan Bakaev joined Al Wahda FC on a season-long loan.
  • Midfielder Dmitry Vasiljev sustained an injury in the midweek Russian Cup at Grozny and is a doubt here.
  • Winger Andrey Mostovoy has been recovering from a recent injury, but is likely to return to training next week.
  • Midfielder Dmitry Barinov missed the midweek Russian Cup match at Yekaterinburg due to injury and is a doubt here. The Russian midfielder is undergoing an individual training programme in order to recover in time for Sunday’s match.
  • Versatile defender Stanislav Magkeev remains sidelined because of a long-term knee injury and will miss out here.

Prediction

  • FC Zenit are going through a good moment of form having won four of their last five matches and are slight favourites to get the three points here.
  • After a good run of results, Lokomotiv were surprised at home by FC Orenburg last weekend and lost during the penalty shootout in their midweek Russian Cup match at Yekaterinburg. Mikhail Galaktyonov needs to reinvent his team in order to at least get a point from Sunday’s match at Krestovsky.
