CSKA is gradually starting to improve under Marko Nikolic. It took the Serbian specialist some time to get his ideas across to his charges, so the team lost a lot of points in the opening period. They drew with Rostov 0:0, lost to Krasnodar and Lokomotiv 1:2 and 0:1, respectively. At the same time there were victories over Pari NN - 3:0, Orenburg - 5:1, Akron - 4:0, and before the international break in a difficult battle managed to beat Khimki - 2:0. So far, this is enough for fifth place in the RPL standings. In addition, the Red-Blues are doing well in the group stage of the FONBET Russian Cup, where they first lost to Krasnodar 0:1, but then beat Pari NN and Akhmat 2:1 and 2:0 respectively.

Zenit continues to strengthen. After a great start to the season, they lost Wendel and Maksim Glushenkov due to injuries, and therefore the results went down. All of this contributed to the club's management signing two players to the attacking group. They were Luciano Gondou and Alexander Sobolev. The Argentine in the first match for the new team made a double in the gate Pari NN, and the Russian has so far played only in the winning friendly game against Kairat - 4:3, where they failed to score a goal. Despite a slight slump in the second half of August, St Petersburg remain at the top of the RPL table and are also top of Group D in the FONBET Cup of Russia.

CSKA and Zenit have had some extremely hard-fought and tense head-to-head encounters of late. Four of their last six head-to-heads have ended in a draw. Now the Blues have a great opportunity to finally break their six-match winless streak in this clash. In recent weeks, they've strengthened their attacking group, and they already have a very potent squad.
