In a weekend match in week 20, on Sun Mar 19th, Khimki will play host to Rostov in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams.

Malcom struck first for Zenit in the 19th minute, then Malcom added another in the 55th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 7 of their last 10, while in their last match, 3rd placed Rostov, recorded a 2-1 win against FC Nizhny Novgorod. Andrey Langovich struck first for Rostov in the 55th minute, then Timur Suleimanov tied it up for FC Nizhny Novgorod in the 64th minute.

In their last match on Sunday Jul 31st, Rostov was victorious by a score of 1 to 0. Nikolay Komlichenko struck first for Rostov in the 40th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Khimki couldn’t muster any offence and Rostov ran away with the shutout win.
Nikolay Komlichenko and Maksim Osipenko are the top scorers for Rostov in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.. Butta Magomedov has been the most prolific scorer on Khimki in his last five matches with two goals.
