Nizhnyi Novgorod's form, by contrast, has been disappointing, approaching this match after two consecutive defeats to Spartak and Dinamo. Their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last ten away matches.

In this Premier League showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Zenit and Nizhnyi Novgorod throughout the campaign. Zenit’s top finisher Mateo Cassierra and Maksim Glushenkov have played important roles in ensuring their attack, with Sergei Semak steering the side, remains effective. With three goals in Premier League, Cassierra is Zenit’s top scorer in the league, with Glushenkov topping their assist tally in the competition with two. Supporting them are Andrey Mostovoy, Aleksandr Sobolev and Arsen Adamov, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Zenit’s attack.

Meanwhile, Nizhnyi Novgorod’s leading scorer Juan Boselli and Olakunle Olusegun have played significant roles in the team’s attack, shaped by Aleksey Shpilevski’s vision, each providing decisive moments in their offensive play. Boselli leads Nizhnyi Novgorod’s scoring charts in Premier League this season with one goal, while Olusegun remains their top assist provider in the competition with one. Viacheslav Grulev, Thiago Vecino and Maksim Shnaptsev have supported the attack well, combining for important goals and assists throughout the campaign.
