Sports 17:19, 20-07-2025

Football expert Alexander Shikunov shared his thoughts on the upcoming match between Zenit and Rostov. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to him, the Rostov team will face difficulties in the game against Zenit, as the club has lost all of its key players. It will take time to form a new team, especially as the process is complicated when working with young players.

During the pre-season transfer period this season, Rostov lost two players from the main squad. Defender Maxim Osipenko moved to the capital's Dynamo club, while forward Nikolay Komlichenko transferred to Lokomotiv.

Today, on July 20, Zenit and Rostov will kick off their first games of the new season. The match will take place at Gazprom Arena stadium in St. Petersburg.

The game will start at 18:00 Moscow time. Shikunov emphasized that the Rostov team will need time to gather their strength in the new season, especially as it is important to adapt young players to the team.

For this reason, today's game will be an important event to test the team's condition.
