Team News
Zenit
FC Rostov
- FC Zenit drew for the third consecutive league game during their visit to Otkrytie Arena in Moscow at the weekend.
- On the other hand, Andre Villas-Boas' team extended their good UEFA Champions League start, after securing their second win in as many games against Gent at Petrovsky on Tuesday.
- The experienced Russian midfielder Viktor Fayzulin is still injured and will miss FC Zenit’s upcoming matches.
- After being eliminated from the Russian Cup by FC Tosno, Kurban Berdyev’s men returned to winning ways, as they overcame FC Kuban at home last time out.
- Regardless of their recent good RPL results, FC Rostov is currently drowned in financial chaos. Their employees have made it clear that they will stop working next month if their wages are not paid.
- After scoring twice against FC Kuban last Monday, Dmitry Poloz became the team’s top scorer with three goals in 10 league matches so far this season.
Zenit will win this time, I think they are going to carry on a positive set of results starting here. Had long enough to brood, falling into 6th place etc. is not an option.
