Team News

CSKA Moscow
Zenit
  • Maksim Mukhin and Yegor Ushakov are back in action after recovering from their respective injuries and will be available for selection here.
  • Chilean midfielder Víctor Méndez has not yet played a single match this season and is likely to leave the club anytime soon.
  • Russia international Alexander Sobolev joined FC Zenit from Spartak Moscow before the international break.
  • Maksim Glushenkov is back in training, but he’s still wearing a compression bandage on his arm and he might not yet be available for selection here.
  • Defenders Yuri Gorshkov and Rodrigão remain sidelined because of recent injuries and are doubts for Saturday’s match at Moscow.
  • Sergey Volkov has been recovering from a long-term knee injury and will only return to action after the winter break.

Prediction

  • CSKA won their last two matches without conceding goals along the way and have all their players ready for Saturday’s important match. On a good day, Marko Nikolic’s men might cause FC Zenit a major upset here.
  • After two consecutive draws, FC Zenit returned to winning ways in last round’s match at Nizhny Novgorod and are surely looking to extend their long undefeated run for another match.
  • Judging by both sides’ recent performances, a draw is the most likely outcome for Saturday’s match.
