"Wolfsburg is very strong team according to their roster", said Pogrebnyak to Sport Express. "We played with them for the previous time after winter break, when their defence didn't work well".

"They tried to look after us tightly, but succeeded in it not all the time. Their central defender Madlung made too many mistakes and their problems in the goal was evident after Benaglo got injured".

This match became successful for the Russian striker, as he scored one goal, made one assist and was voted the man of the match by Kicker.

"I scored after a set-piece, and in general Wolfsburg had some problems with set-pieces in that game", Pogrebnyak admitted.

"Their midfield line also didn't impress me, however their midfielders are very strong. For example Misimovic has perfect field vision, he can supply his partners with ideal assist and he is brilliant at set-pieces".

"Strikers are impressive too, so I think Wolfsburg opponents should first of all be afraid of Misimovic, Dzeko and Grafite".

"Rubin will need to use their advantage of home stands and play better at home. Maybe Kazan side will look fresher since they are just beginning the new season".

"I suppose Wolfsburg will score in Germany, as they rare leave their home field without a goal. I think their chances for victory are equal".
