Team News

Nizhny Novgorod
Zenit
  • Defenders Stanislav Magkeev and Dmitry Tikhy have been recovering from recent injuries and are doubts for Saturday’s match.
  • Midfielder Dan Glazer is likely to miss the upcoming match due to family reasons.
  • Mamadou Maiga and Ilya Zhigulev are undergoing treatment for long-term injuries and will not feature here.
  • Serbian defender Strahinja Erakovic is suspended after being sent off in last round’s match against Spartak Moscow.
  • Defender Yuri Gorshkov and forward Ivan Sergeev missed the midweek Russian Cup match at Samara due to injury and are doubts here.
  • Head coach Sergey Semak noted that Maksim Glushenkov’s injury is quite serious and that he cannot train with the rest of the team for now. Glushenkov broke his wrist during the match against FC Khimki two weeks ago.
  • Russia international Andrey Mostovoy sustained a muscle injury in the midweek Russian Cup against FC Akron and is a doubt for Saturday’s visit to Nizhny Novgorod.
  • Forward Luciano Gondou joined FC Zenit from AA Argentino Juniors this week and has already been registered in the league.

Prediction

  • FC Pari NN lost their last couple of matches in the league, conceding five goals along the way. The Nizhny Novgorod outfit will need to be at their very best in order to get the three points here.
  • After two consecutive draws, FC Zenit are no longer the league leaders. Glushenkov’s injury was a major blow to the team, but Sergey Semak’s men are favourites to win next time out.
