Rostov vs Zenit Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

In Premier League action, Rostov meet Zenit on May 18. The match is set to start at 16:00 UTC.

A sense of anticipation builds as the upcoming encounter sees Rostov and Zenit square off once more, a month after their National cup meeting which Zenit won 2-0. Rostov come into the match following a draw against Khimki yesterday in the Premier League, extending their unbeaten streak to four matches. Ahead of their clash with Zenit, they must first take on Rubin in Premier League, which will test their form and squad depth before facing Zenit. Turning their attention to defensive solidity could be the key to turning draws into victories, as they have allowed goals in seven consecutive home matches.

Zenit's most recent outings ended in two straight victories against Nizhnyi Novgorod and CSKA, setting a positive tone ahead of this match, keeping their unbeaten run alive at nine matches. Nevertheless, their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last three away matches. Zenit’s upcoming schedule leading up to Rostov features Dynamo Mkh in Premier League, a fixture that is likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Rostov.
