Sochi will have a chance to get closer to Zenit and jump to 2nd place if they win. They are doing great, winning against CSKA and earlier with Arsenal, they are in shape. In opposing moods Kazan, a terrible loss to Rostov 5-1 and the lack of a few players put them in a terrible position before this game: Despotovic, Kvaratskhelia, Samoshnikov.
