Team News

Zenit
Akron Togliatti
  • Mikhail Kerzhakov, Sergey Volkov and Strahinja Erakovic have been recovering from injury and will miss the last match of the year.
  • Goalkeeper Evgeny Latyshonok is back in training after recovering from injury and should return to the starting line-up here.
  • Defender Nuraly Alip sustained an injury in last round’s match against Krylya Sovetov and will miss next time out.
  • Versatile defender Konstantin Savichev is suspended after reaching the yellow card limit last time out against FC Orenburg.
  • Apart from the team’s captain, head coach Zaur Tedeev has a full squad to choose from ahead of Saturday’s visit to Saint Petersburg.

Prediction

  • FC Zenit were surprised at home by Krylya Sovetov last time out, conceding their second defeat of the season in the league. Despite last round’s upset, Sergey Semak’s men are favourites to get the three points here.
  • After two consecutive defeats, FC Akron returned to winning ways last time out against FC Orenburg and are certainly hoping to pull off a surprise here. It will be a special match for Artem Dzyuba, who spent seven years at FC Zenit.
