Venue: Saint-Petersburg Stadium (68134 seats)

Zenit perform at a high level so far being 1st in the table. Akhmat Grozny can look both up and down from their 10th position.

It's no vacation for neither Zenit nor Akhmat Grozny 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.

Akhmat Grozny have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
