Rostov vs Zenit Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

In Premier League action, Rostov met Zenit on May 18. At full-time, Zenit sealed a 0-1 victory over Rostov.

The game turned on the 30th minute when Aleksandr Sobolev found the net, giving Zenit the lead and ultimately sealing the victory.

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 this match fresh off a victory over Spartak in National cup Regional Path Playoffs on May 15. Their recent victory has come with a cost though, as their backline remains a concern, having conceded goals in each of their last seven home matches.

Zenit's form, in contrast to their opponent's recent successes, has been disappointing, approaching this match after a defeat to CSKA in the National cup on May 14.
