Zenit are undefeated in their last 16 matches (Premier League). Rubin Kazan have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 5 matches against Zenit in all competitions. Rubin Kazan are undefeated in their last 6 home matches (Premier League).
Defender Ilya Samoshnikov sustained a sprain on his left leg last time out against FC Ural and is likely to miss out here. Oleg Shatov and Aleksandr Zuev remain sidelined due to recent injuries and are doubts next time out. Recent signing Anders Dreyer is the man of the moment in Kazan after scoring three goals on his debut last Monday. FC Zenit started their Champions League campaign with defeat at Stamford Bridge to Chelsea in midweek. Croatian defender Dejan Lovren picked up an injury on international duty and will miss Monday’s match. Magomed Ozdoev and Vyacheslav Karavaev have been recovering from injury and will also miss out here.
After three matches without a win, FC Rubin Kazan returned to winning ways last time out, hammering FC Ural 4-0. In their last seven home matches against FC Zenit, the Kazan outfit have only won one, but they are surely hoping to become the first team to defeat the defending champions in the league this season. FC Zenit remain undefeated after seven league matches and their midweek upset in London will probably not hinder the team. Despite the visitors’ slight upper hand, there aren’t any real favourites for this match. A draw is the most likely outcome. 1:1
