Zenit Preview – Can Zenit increase lead at top?
Zenit seemingly look like heading towards another Russian top flight domestic title as the hosts sit top of the Premier League by a 6-point margin above 2nd placed Krasnodar ahead of this weekend’s action and the hosts will be keen to also preserve their unbeaten status at home too.
Having put together a solid and impressive 10-match unbeaten run in the Russian top flight, Zenit look a hard team to budge off the top of the league and especially on home turf at their Saint-Petersburg Stadium where they still remain unbeaten so far in this campaign.
An overall home record of 6-5-0 22/5 includes wins against Tambov, Arsenal Tula, Rubin Kazan, Rostov, Spartak Moscow and Dinamo Moscow as well as keeping a total of 6 clean sheets to date. The bigger picture shows that Zenit are unbeaten in their last 18 matches at home in the Premier League.
Ural Preview – Can Ural get anything out of Zenit?
The visitors have certainly put up stubborn resistance in this season’s Russian top flight campaign as they currently occupy 9th place and have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 6 matches overall in the Premier League.
That defeat was a 2-0 reverse away from home at third from bottom club, Sochi, but they’ve also picked up useful points in draws with Akhmat Grozny, Spartak Moscow, Rostov and CSKA Moscow as well as recording a 3-2 win on the road at Krylya Sovetov.
Having also lost just 1 of their last 9 matches on their travels, Ural will be quietly confident that they can also frustrate their more illustrious hosts, Zenit, in this Saturday’s clash but history is firmly against them doing so as Ural have lost 12 of the previous 13 meetings against Zenit.
