Former Spartak striker Roman Pavlyuchenko called Zenit the favorite in the next Russian Cup playoff match against the “red and white”.
The second leg of the semi-final of the RPL FONBET Russian Cup will take place in St. Petersburg on April 17, starting at 7:30 p.m. (Moscow time). The first meeting took place in Moscow on April 3 and ended with a victory for Zenit with a score of 2:1.
— Spartak is in bad shape today. Although it is a cup match, the teams are unlikely to field their second team. I don’t see how Spartak can give the fight to Zenit, who are now head and shoulders above all teams.
It hurts me to watch the Muscovites, because they are my local team. Even due to their character, Spartak is unlikely to beat Zenit. Perhaps the club management felt that some kind of emotional upheaval was necessary by removing Guillermo Abascal, but it is unlikely that all will be well in the team. There will be chances only if Zenit presents a full second team,” Pavlyuchenko told Metaratings.ru.
Live broadcast of the match “Zenith” — “Spartacus” watch Wednesday from 19:00 (Moscow time) on the channel, matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites.
