Russian Premier League is back after more than 2 months of rest. During this time teams played many friendly games on their long training camps in Europe.

Zenit St.Petersburg are the reigning champions and will try to defend that title. They win all the 8 friendly games but eleminated in the Cup last week since they lost against Arsenal Tula 1-2. In this game they were so poor lacking creativity and not many chances created.

From the transfer market they didn't signed any player but sold def Prokhin (7/0) and mid Musaev (6/0).

Coach Semak have still a long injury list for this game as many key players like def Douglas (24/3), st Malcolm (19/1), st Azmoun (20/11), mid Barrios (23/0) and st Driussi (17/2).

Rostov in other hand also eleminated from the Cup as they lost against Akhmat Grozny 0-1. It was a very unlucky game for them and even guest's gk made several miracles. While in friendly games they managed to win 4, 2 losts and 1 draw. Currently Rostov sit at 5th place with 32 points. The difference between them and Zenit is 9 points but with other opponents the race is open till the end.

From the transfer market they signed st Ali Sowe very fast player from CSKA Sofia and some others from lower leagues.

While st Eremenko (16/1) left the team.

Out for this game are mid Hashimoto (14/5) and mid Mamaev (9/2).

Despite Zenit St.Petersburg have a long bench and many alternatives, the missings in attack are very difficult to be replaced as Azmoun is the best player scoring goals but also assists.

I think Rostov will take advantage of this situation.

GL!

俄罗斯超级联赛在休息了两个多月后回归。在此期间，球队在欧洲的长期训练营里进行了许多友谊赛。

圣彼得堡泽尼特是卫冕冠军，将努力卫冕。他们赢得了8场友谊赛的全部胜利，但在上周以1-2输给阿森纳之后就被淘汰出局。在这场比赛中，他们表现很差，缺乏创造力，也没有创造多少机会。

在转会市场上，他们没有签下任何球员，而是卖掉了def Prokhin(7/0)和中中锋穆萨耶夫(6/0)。

在这场比赛中，主教练斯迈克仍然有一长列的伤病名单，包括def Douglas (24/3)， st Malcolm (19/1)， st Azmoun (20/11)， mid Barrios(23/0)和st Driussi(17/2)。

罗斯托夫也因为0:1输给了格罗兹尼而被淘汰出局。这对他们来说是一场非常不幸的比赛，甚至guest的gk也创造了几个奇迹。在友谊赛中，他们4胜2负1平。目前罗斯托夫以32分排名第五。他们和泽尼特的差距是9分，但是和其他对手的比赛一直持续到最后。

在转会市场上，他们从索非亚中央陆军和其他一些低级别联赛签下了圣阿里索维。

而圣埃列门科(16/1)离开了球队。

本场比赛中场桥本(14/5)和马马耶夫(9/2)缺阵。

尽管圣彼得堡的泽尼特有很长的板凳和很多替补，但是在进攻上的缺位是很难被替换的，因为阿兹蒙是最好的进球和助攻球员。

我想罗斯托夫会利用这个机会。
