Hosts should at least draw here.

This is the last round of the Russian Premier League and Nizhny is just 1 point above relegation playoffs. There’re three more teams below them, with two playoff spots in play.

In the last round they achieved an important draw against a top team like Sochi (3rd), playing the whole second half with 10 mens due to a red card, which gave them a lot of motivation. Surely they will have prepared very well for this last meeting at home, which is a very important game for them.

But Zenit is the main reason for this pick. They are already champions of the league after a fantastic campaign, but now they have nothing in play already. That’s why the main players of the team are already on vacation, according to their social media posts and the call-up for this match by Zenit. ​Malcolm, Claudinho and Wendel, Douglas Santos, Yuri Albert, Chistyakov and Erokhin are confirmed, but according to the latest news there should be more. Zenit has called a total of 7 players from the B team to have their opportunity in this game.

They have already shown a lack of motivation in the last few games, as they have already become champions several rounds ago. The best example is their last meeting where they drew 1:1 against Spartak (one position above Nizhny) making a very poor performance, and in the previous one against Khimki (on relegation) made another poor performance but won 1:0.

So we will see the weakest lineup of Zenit in the whole season, full of reserves and even some youngsters. And without motivation. Nizhny is a very weak team but they have a great chance here to avoid relegation, and should be able to do it at home with huge motivation and support.

看好主队至少保持不败

这是俄罗斯超级联赛的最后一轮，而下城只比保级季后赛高出1分。在他们之下还有三支球队，有两个季后赛席位。

在上一轮中，他们与像索契这样的顶级球队(第三名)取得了重要的平局，由于一张红牌，他们整个下半场都只有10人，这给了他们很大的动力。他们肯定已经为最后一次主场比赛做了充分的准备，这对他们来说是一场非常重要的比赛。

但是泽尼特是这个选择的主要原因。在经历了一个梦幻般的赛季后，他们已经是联赛冠军，但现在他们已经一无所有。这就是为什么球队的主要球员已经在度假了，根据他们的社交媒体帖子和泽尼特对这场比赛的召唤。马尔科姆、克劳迪尼奥和温德尔、道格拉斯·桑托斯、尤里·艾伯特、奇斯蒂亚科夫和埃罗金已经确认，但根据最新消息，应该还有更多。泽尼特一共从B队召唤了7名球员在这场比赛中获得机会。

在过去的几场比赛中，他们已经表现出缺乏动力，因为他们几轮前就已经成为冠军了。最好的例子是他们上次1:1平斯巴达(比尼兹尼高一个位置)，表现很差，而在上一次对阵希姆基(降级)，他们表现很差，但1:0获胜。

所以我们将看到泽尼特的阵容是整个赛季最弱的，有很多替补，甚至还有一些年轻球员。没有动力。下城是一支非常弱的球队，但他们在这里有很大的机会避免降级，在主场他们应该有巨大的动力和支持。
