Gameday in Sochi for the round 23 between Sochi & Zenit.

Sochi will be without important player Terekhov who is suspended. Important midfielder Noboa is doubtful but I doubt that he will be ready at 100% after missing last 2 games for his injury.

On their side Zenit will be without Lovren who is injured since a moment now. Wilmar Barrios is out because he was with the NT and of course to return to Russia at the moment it's difficult.

Sochi is ranked 4 with 12 wins, 2 draws & 8 losses for 35 goals scored & 24 goals conceded.

Zenit is ranked 1 with 14 wins, 6 draws & 2 losses for 53 goals scored & 23 goals conceded.

Very good game here in a really weird season where a lot of teams gave up and released their foreigners. Zenit is doing really good this season, they have an amazing squad, they are the best offense of the league by far with Malcom, Yuri Alberto, Dzyuba, Claudinho etc. For russia their squad is really too strong. Even if they are very strong this season, the top of the table is still close with Dynamo and CSKA who are also doing good and who also have their foreigners to finish the season.

The only bad thing for Zenit is the departure of their key defender Rakitsky who was very important for defensive task but also offensively for his long balls and on corners.

Sochi is a good team in Russia but they don't have enough qualities to compete with Zenit, this season they won 1-2 in Zenit but of course it was a lucky performance and Zenit was really not good on that game. I really expect Zenit to take their revenge today

I expect 1-2 or 0-2.

索契和泽尼特之间的第 23 轮比赛日在索契举行。

索契将缺少停赛的重要球员捷列霍夫。重要的中场诺博亚出战存疑，他在因伤缺席了最后两场比赛后可能无法做好100%的准备。

泽尼特将缺少受伤的洛夫伦。威尔玛·巴里奥斯（Wilmar Barrios）缺席是因为他现在回到俄罗斯很困难。

索契以12胜2平8负的成绩位列第4，进35球，失24球。

泽尼特以14胜6平2负的成绩排名第一，打进53球，失球23。

很多球队和他们的外援解约，这是一场非常艰难的比赛。泽尼特本赛季的表现非常好，他们拥有令人惊叹的阵容，是迄今为止联盟中进攻最好的球队。有马尔科姆、尤里阿尔贝托、久巴、克劳迪尼奥等。在俄罗斯他们的阵容真的太强大了。就算他们本赛季实力很强，Dynamo 和 CSKA 的积分仍然很接近，对手也做得很好，他们也有很多外援。

泽尼特的关键后卫拉基茨基的离开，他对防守任务非常重要，对于长传和角球进攻也很重要。

索契在俄罗斯是一支不错的球队，但他们没有足够的实力与泽尼特竞争，本赛季他们在泽尼特2-1获胜，当然这是一次幸运的表现，泽尼特在那场比赛中表现不佳。我预测泽尼特今天会复仇。

比分预测1-2或0-2
