The teams approach this match from opposite ends of the league table. Zenit is confidently among the leaders and is competing for another gold medal. Pari NN, on the other hand, is in the lower half of the table and is in a desperate fight for survival. The head-to-head history is entirely in favor of the St. Petersburg side, with Zenit having won all six previous encounters with a combined score of 16-2.
Team Form and Analysis
Pari NN
Saša Ilić's team relies on a pragmatic style of football and solid defensive play. At home, the Nizhny Novgorod side is traditionally tough to beat and capable of challenging any opponent. However, the team's main problem is their lack of goals - Pari NN is one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league. Against the best attack in the RPL, the hosts are likely to adopt a deep defensive strategy.
Zenit
Sergei Semak's team has hit its stride and is looking to strengthen its lead. Zenit has been phenomenally prolific and boasts the most solid defense in the league. The visitors will dominate the match and will be looking to secure another three points to keep their competitors at bay.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Official lineups will be confirmed one hour before kick-off.
- Pari NN (5-3-2): Nigmatullin; Zhivoglyadov, Kakkoev, Gotsuk, Aleksandrov, Tikhiy; Kalinsky, Troshechkin, Maiga; Boselli, Kuchaev.
- Zenit (4-3-3): Kerzhakov; Karavaev, Eraković, Nino, Santos; Barrios, Wendel, Claudinho; Mostovoy, Cassierra, Mantuan.

- Total Goals Prediction: Zenit to Win to Nil. Pari NN has one of the worst attacks in the league, and Zenit has won 5 of the last 6 head-to-head meetings with a clean sheet.
