Rubin Kazan and CSKA Moscow will battle for three points in a Russian Premier League round nine fixture on Saturday. The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 2-0 defeat away to Zenit in the Russian Cup in midweek.

CSKA, meanwhile, saw off Krasnodar with a 2-0 home win in the Russian Cup. Milan Gajic and Matvey Kislyak scored in either half to help their side to victory.
Their last league game saw them suffer a 1-0 defeat at home to Zenit last weekend.
The defeat left the Horses in sixth spot in the table, having garnered 13 points from eight games. Kazan are three points worse off in eighth place.

CSKA, for their part, have won four of their last five games in all competitions but have a poor record in this fixture in recent years.
