Gameday in Saint Petersburg for the round 12 of the RPL between Zenit & Spartak.

Zenit will be without Kuzyayev suspended. Malcom is injured. Claudinho is doubtful but high chance to see him according to my insider.

Spartak on their side will be without important defender Gigot, Ponce & Umyarov.

Zenit is actually ranked 1 with 7 wins, 2 draws & 2 losses for 23 goals scored & 14 goals conceded.

Spartak on their side is ranked 7 with 5 wins, 2 draws & 4 losses for 13 goals scored & 10 goals conceded.

Zenit is actually in a bad streak with 3 losses in a row, one loose was against Arsenal who is a really weak team in Russia.

Despite the fact that Malcom is missing this team stays just too good and has too much qualities offensiely with Azmoun, Dzyuba, Claudinho(doubtful).

Their midfield is just too strong with players as Wendel, Barrios, Douglas Santos. Defensively they have the boss of the defense Rakitskiy also able to deliver great passes for the offense.

Spartak is really this season defensively, they have some good players offensively with Sobolev who scored twice against Leicester. Larsson, Promes back from injury since last game.

In EL Spartak showed an awful performance against Leceister, they were totally dominated but were lucky to lead 2-0 but at the end they lost 3-4.

It is a big clash in the russian football between two big cities, Zenit really needs to make a end of their loose streak and they have the perfect opportunity against a weaker team who will get even more problem than usually defensively.

Also as I already said, I don't expect Rui Vitoria to stay much longer in Spartak as he isn't doing a great job.

I expect 3-1 for Zenit.

泽尼特将没有库扎耶夫的禁赛。马尔科姆受伤。克劳迪尼奥不确定，但据我的内部人士说，他很有可能见到他。

斯巴达克将失去重要的后卫吉戈特、庞塞和乌米亚洛夫。

泽尼特以7胜2平2负的成绩排名第1，进球23粒，失球14粒。

斯巴达克队以5胜2平4负13球失10球排名第7。

泽尼特实际上已经连输三场了，其中一场是输给了俄罗斯的弱旅阿森纳。

尽管马尔科姆已经不在了，但这支球队的表现仍然很好，有阿兹蒙、祖巴和克劳迪尼奥(值得怀疑)，他们的进攻能力很强。

他们的中场太强了，有温德尔，巴里奥斯，道格拉斯桑托斯这样的球员。在防守端，他们的防守老板Rakitskiy也能够为进攻端传递伟大的传球。

斯巴达克在本赛季的防守上表现出色，他们有一些进攻上的好球员，索博列夫在对莱斯特的比赛中进了两球。拉尔森，普莱姆斯在上一场比赛后伤愈复出。

在EL斯巴达克对阵莱塞特的比赛中，斯巴达克表现糟糕，他们完全处于统治地位，但幸运地以2-0领先，但最后他们3-4输掉了比赛。

这是俄罗斯足球中两个大城市之间的一场重大冲突，泽尼特真的需要结束他们的松散的连胜，他们有一个完美的机会，面对一支实力较弱的球队，他们会得到比通常更多的防守问题。

正如我已经说过的，我不希望鲁伊在斯巴达克呆太久，因为他的工作做得不好。

我希望泽尼特以3-1获胜。
