The Russian Super Cup features an exciting final this weekend as CSKA Moscow lock horns with an impressive Zenit St. Petersburg side in an important encounter at the Kazan Arena on Saturday.
Zenit St. Petersburg finished at the top of the Russian Premier League last season and have been dominant on the domestic front over the past year. The hosts edged Fenerbahce to a narrow victory on penalties in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this weekend.
CSKA Moscow, on the other hand, finished in second place in the league table last season and have stepped up to the plate last season. The away side slumped to a shock 6-3 defeat at the hands of Dinamo Moscow last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Zenit St. Petersburg have an impressive squad at their disposal and can be lethal on their day. Malcom has been in lethal form over the past year and will look to make an impact this weekend.
CSKA Moscow can pack a punch on their day and will need to step up to the plate in this fixture. Zenit St. Petersburg are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
