It's no vacation for neither Zorya nor Leicester City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
It's quite the trip for Leicester City when visiting Zorya as the cities are 3100 kilometers apart.

A good away victory last time out for Zorya, who won 3-0 against Minai. Before that match, a Europa League win away at AEK Athens.
