Only the second game in the Premier League for these teams and it's all to play for here at Stadion SKA SKVO as Rostov welcomes Zenit. Check out this preview!

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Premier League game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Rotor Volgograd. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Zenit have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
