Sergey Andreyev fears that Zenit St. Petersburg’s Luciano Spalletti will introduce Hulk and Witsel in the upcoming Russian Premier League match against the Chechens
In the upcoming Russian Premier League round, Terek Grozny will lock horns with Zenit St. Petersburg at Petrovsky stadium on Friday.
Though both the Russian outfits share equal points on the league table, the defending champions are above Terek in the standings on goal difference.
Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Rostov-c39192 striker, Sergey Andreyev, has expressed his views on the much anticipated match, saying that the Chechens have a decent chance to secure the top-spot on the league table.
Andreyev is of the belief that the Chechens had enough time to prepare for the thrilling contest against Luciano Spalletti’s men, as most of their players remained at Akhmad Arena during the International break as compared to their
counterparts.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Axel-Witsel-c7029 represented their respective national teams at the 2014 World Cup qualifying
matches.
And while Zenit are also participating in the UEFA Champions League, Andreyev believes that the Russian Super Cup runners up's will find it difficult to defeat the Chechens, given the fact that the players will be exhausted.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Atyrau-c39073 player admitted that the Nohchi are enjoying top form at the moment and deserve their current standing on the league table, having won crucial matches against Dynamo Moscow, Spartak Moscow and Rubin Kazan respectively.
“Zenit are undeniable contender for a third consecutive league title this season but no one expected Terek to claim a 2nd spot after the opening seven rounds of the Russian championship.”
“I remember last year's game in St. Petersburg, which ended in a goalless draw. I remember that Terek played a decent game on the away turf, creating enough chances in the big match. So, I am expecting them to play a similar game.”
The Soviet Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Andreyev went on to admit that Spalletti is likely to hand debuts to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436 and Witsel in the upcoming match, admitting that the aforementioned players can cause problems for the Chechen defenders.
