Alexander Panov believes that the Koni are not in an optimal shape to play the Russian Premier League tie, and has urged Spartak Moscow to win against Dynamo Moscow
Former Torpedo Moscow striker, Alexander Panov, has insisted that CSKA Moscow are unlikely to win the upcoming Russian Premier League tie against reigning champions, Zenit St. Petersburg at Arena Khimki, after losing out key players
through injury and suspension.
The Moscow-based club will be without the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergei-Ignashevich-c32956 respectively. Doumbia has sustained a back injury while Dzagoev and Ignashevich are suspended after receiving straight red
cards.
“Match between Zenit and CSKA Moscow will be a magnificent spectacle. We are waiting for a good game, a fight between the two leaders of our championship. CSKA has to make up for the defeat but Zenit are looking very powerful.”
“Zenit will win in this game most likely. The Petrograders are more confident ahead of the game because CSKA will be without their leaders, specifically they will miss Doumbia.” The Russian Cup winner was quoted as saying.
There is little arguing to the statement that the Armeytsy will struggle without the Ivorian striker, who has now become the fastest player to reach 50-goal mark in 74 appearances for the Russian outfit.
Previously, Spartak Moscow’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Welliton-c36773, who scored 50 goals in 89 appearances, kept this record for more than a year.
There were a lot of negatives for the Muscovites. Besides losing their star players for an indefinite period, they suffered a humiliating 3-1 defeat against Amkar Perm at Moscow on Saturday.
Commenting on the upcoming league tie between Dynamo Moscow and Spartak Moscow, Panov predicted that the Spartachi are most likely to win the respective encounter.
“I like the way Spartak are playing after Slaven Bilic’s appointment. We can see that they have earned six points.” He said.
The White-blues, on the other hand, have failed to claim a single point out of the first two league matches against Volga Niznhy Novgorod and Zenit at Petrovsky stadium. Panov insisted that the Dinamiki are struggling upfront after
sending Andrei Voronin out on loan.
