Team News

Zenit
CSKA Moscow
  • Defender Mário Fernandes has been recovering from a recent surgery and will not feature here. According to assistant coach William de Oliveira, the former Russia international might be able to return to action this season.
  • Apart from Mário Fernandes, head coach Sergey Semak has a full squad to choose from ahead of Saturday’s important match.
  • Brazilian defender Moisés missed last round’s match against FC Rubin Kazan because of a minor injury and is a doubt for the upcoming visit to Saint Petersburg.
  • Midfielder Maksim Mukhin is undergoing treatment for a long-term knee injury and will miss the rest of the season.

Prediction

  • FC Zenit failed to get anything better than a draw from last round’s visit to Voronezh. In fact, Sergey Semak’s men failed to win any of their last three league matches and are forced to return to winning ways here.
  • CSKA didn’t win any of their last five matches and continue to drop places in the league standings. The Moscow outfit's last win in the league was one month ago against FC Fakel.
  • Despite recent setbacks, FC Zenit are slight favourites to get the three points next time out.
