In a weekend match in week 18, on Saturday Mar 4th, Zenit will play host to FC Nizhny Novgorod in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only -4 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Zenit has not played yet this season, and neither has FC Nizhny Novgorod.
Zenit is opening up their season after finishing last season 1st in the tables with 65 points, while FC Nizhny Novgorod is opening up their season after finishing last season 12th in the tables.
