This match will shed more light on the leadership positions in the Russian championship. If Zenit manages to win the match, the team will be the leader of the championship, sharing this place with Spartak Nalchik.
Saturn (Ramensk):
Currently, the team is an outsider of the championship, although they did lose any match yet. Sounds strange, but this is temporary situation and we believe that the position of Saturn and Sibir` will improve soon. The team has rather had calendar, they already played with Rubin and Spartak Moscow and even then they made a draw. At the moment, Saturn has got problems with its players, Kovel`, Kyzmichev, Topich, Vorobyev, Parfenov, Igonin, Evseev won`t play in the match against Zenit.
Zenit (Saint Petersburg):
The last game had a big impact on the Russian championship table. The biggest sensation of this championship, Spartak from Nalchik should be aware of Zenit and its strive to be the leader. In the last round the team won against CSKA making a serious step to get the leadership position. Differently from the Ramenskiy`s team, Zenit has got much less traumatized players. Lazovich and Bustrov won`t play in the upcoming match.
The match will take place on May 2, 2010 at 14:00 (local time) at the Saturn stadium. The best odd is 1.85 for Zenit
