Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Spartak Moskva - Zenit!

Spartak Moskva have less rest than Zenit in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Europa League game only three days ago. This match was also played here at Otkrytiye Arena. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Zenit have had more rest. That game was an away game at Sporting Braga, so at least Spartak Moskva are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
