Team News

CSKA Moscow
Zenit
  • Goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev has been struggling with an inflamed knee and it is unknown when he will return to the starting line-up.
  • Russia international Igor Diveev has been recovering from a foot surgery and will only return to action after the winter break.
  • Versatile winger Egor Ushakov remains sidelined due to a knee injury and is likely to miss out here.
  • Recent signing Strahinja Erakovic missed last round’s match against FC Ural because of a recent injury and is a doubt for Sunday’s important match.
  • Dmitry Chistyakov is undergoing treatment for a persistent injury on his back and is a doubt here.
  • Andrey Mostovoy and Rodrigão will not feature here due to long-term injuries.

Prediction

  • CSKA failed to win their last two league matches and cannot afford to lose this one. The Moscow outfit have won all their home matches so far this season.
  • After a slow start, FC Zenit are now going through a good moment of form. Sergey Semak’s men won their last three league matches and will surely be looking to get the three points here.
  • Both sides will still be in action in the Russian Cup before Sunday’s clash at Moscow, but judging from their recent performances, a draw is the most likely outcome here.
