Match begins: 12:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadion Spartak (8000 seats)

A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and 20th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

This stadium uses grass, unlike Zenit II's home stadium. The visitors last 29 games on grass have ended in 7 wins, 6 draws and 16 losses. Zenit II have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Zenit II form and stats

There's been little loot from Zenit II's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 18 away games. Zenit II, who have the most conceded goals (55) in FNL, only have 3 wins to counter their 12 defeats and 3 draws.

It's the second away game in a row for Zenit II, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Tyumen in the FNL last time out. Before that, Zenit II secured a home win against Mordovia Saransk with the score 3-1.

The attacking power of Zenit II when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored in 18 matches. In the opposite end, Zenit II have conceded 27 goals in their away games.
