Team News

Zenit
PFC Sochi
  • Colombian forward Mateo Cassierra sustained a minor injury in last round’s match against FC Krasnodar and is a doubt here.
  • Gustavo Mantuan picked up a knock in a preparation match in Baku against FC Neftchi last weekend and is also a doubt for Saturday’s match.
  • According to head coach Sergey Semak, Vyacheslav Karavaev and Dmitry Vasilyev will still be out for quite some time because of injury, while Mário Fernandes is undergoing an individual training programme in order to fully recover from a knee injury.
  • Experienced midfielder Aleksandr Erokhin is also injured but is likely to recover in time for the upcoming match.
  • Defensive midfielder Krill Kravtsov is suspended after being sent off in last round’s match against FC Rubin Kazan.
  • Forward Luka Djordjevic has been recovering from a recent injury and is likely to miss the upcoming visit to Saint Petersburg.
  • Attacking midfielder Miguel Silveira remains sidelined because of a persistent injury and will not feature here.

Prediction

  • FC Zenit failed to defeat league leaders FC Krasnodar last time out and remain in second place after 15 matches. Nevertheless, Sergey Semak’s men are firm favourites to get the three points here.
  • PFC Sochi lost at home to FC Rubin Kazan in last round’s match and aren’t likely to cause any major upset to the current Russian champions next time out.
