The legendary team of Sergey Semak is known not only in every corner of the country, but also abroad. The famous St. Petersburg Zenit is the oldest football team, which rightfully deserves the title of one of the most titled in the history of Russian football. Four Cups of Russia, the UEFA Cup and Super Cup and seven-time gold of the Russian Championship. In the current season, Zenit is back in the leaders of the Premier League and clearly intends to win the eighth medal in its piggy bank of achievements.
Zenit's opponent will be a well-known football club from Volgograd. "Rotor" has experienced a lot in his lifetime and, one might say, was born twice. The first time was in the year of its foundation in 1923, and the second time in 2015, when it was revived after the collapse of the team. Today "Rotor" has returned to the arena of professional football. In 2016, Volgograd took first place in the second division, which allowed them to move to the FNL, and the victory in the National Football League in 2019 became a ticket to the Russian Premier League for Rotor.
The statistics of the matches of Zenit and Rotor are quite interesting, 19 wins for each side, 11 draws. Petersburgers are actively strengthening their positions, but "Rotor", having returned to the Premier League, does not intend to retreat just like that. How will such a long-standing confrontation end?
