Rubin Kazan remain undefeated in the league after two matches. The possible absence of Sardar Azmoun from Monday’s match might be a problem for the Tatarstan outfit, but on a good day, they have a strong chance of defeating FC Zenit.
The Saint Petersburg outfit are still picking up the pieces after the embarrassing 4-0 defeat in Minsk and Sergey Semak will need to work his magic to recover his players for the demanding upcoming match.
Judging from their recent performances, a draw is the most likely outcome here.
