Zenit vs Tambov. Preview

On Monday, January 8th, our team will play the return match of the 1/8 finals of the Russian Cup against Tambov.

In the first game, Tambov lost with a 42-point difference, and it's almost certain that they will end their trophy pursuit this Monday. Although it won't be surprising since no Superleague club has reached the quarterfinal stage, with only representatives from the United League advancing further.

But still Tambov is doing a good season so far if we talk about Superleague. The team is currently in seventh place in the standings and has decent chances for the playoffs. However, the mid-table competition is intense, and one defeat could shake those chances. Our farm team is also among the pursuers, trailing by just one loss.
