Even though their head coach Vladimir Alekno made adjustments to the lineup and gave some starters the opportunity to rest for the rematch of the CEV Champions League semifinals against Grupa Azoty ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle, Zenit-Kazan beat Enisey and took the lead in the series of the Preliminary Round of the playoffs in the 2020/21 Russian Men’s Superliga Parimatch.
The team from the Tatarstan region had an easier job than expected mostly because their rivals were deprived of the help of the top scorer Kirill Klets (injury): 3-0 (25-14, 25-13, 25-19). Maksim Mikhaylov led Zenit-Kazan with 17 points (74 % attack, 14/19). Fedor Voronkov made a 71 % attack (12/17).
Zenit Saint Petersburg, Fakel, and Lokomotiv achieved wins in their respective playoff openers earlier.
