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.
Tuesday's game will mark Red Star's last game of 2022, so they will look to close out the year on a high.
