Zenit St. Petersburg will host Red Star Belgrade at the Gazprom Arena on Tuesday (November 22) in a friendly.
The hosts have had a solid campaign and are pushing for a fifth consecutive Russian Premier League title and tenth overall. Zenit beat Torpedo Moscow 2-0 in their last league clash before beating newly promoted Fakel Voronezh by the same scoreline in the Russian Cup last week. Zenit will hope for a win before their cup clash against Spartak Moscow next Sunday.
Red Star, meanwhile, are also enjoying a brilliant league campaign, going full steam in the race for the Serbian Superliga despite their UEFA Europa League disappointments. They picked up a 2-1 win over Radnik Surdulica last time out, with Aleksandar Katai scoring both goals for the visitors.
