Team News

FC Krasnodar
Zenit
  • Defender Giovanni Gonzalez missed last round’s match because his daughter was born, but should be available for selection here.
  • Russian forward Alexander Koksharov remains sidelined due to a long-term injury and will miss Saturday’s match.
  • Claudinho had been struggling with a minor injury last week, but according to head coach Sergey Semak, the Brazilian midfielder is now feeling better and is likely to return to the starting line-up on Saturday.
  • Defenders Rodrigão and Sergey Volkov are undergoing treatment for long-term injuries and will be out for a long period of time.
  • Russia international Ilzat Akhmetov has been struggling with a persistent injury and is a doubt here.

Prediction

  • FC Krasnodar won their last six league matches and remain undefeated in the league this season. Murad Musaev’s men are extremely motivated ahead of Saturday’s match and if they win, they will overcome FC Zenit at the top of the standings.
  • FC Zenit are also going through a great moment of form after three consecutive wins and are also yet to lose a league match so far this season.
  • It will surely be an extremely close match with no real favourites to win. Although the home side might have a slight upper hand, a draw is the most likely outcome here.
