Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Dinamo Barnaul in 7th and Zenit Izhevsk in 10th place.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Barnaul and Zenit Izhevsk.
Zenit Izhevsk have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Dinamo Barnaul form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Dinamo Barnaul have to build on here at Stadion Dinamo in the Pfl.
A nice win for Barnaul last time playing, versus KAMAZ. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with V. Lipin and V. Khmelevskiy scoring for the victors. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Chelyabinsk (0-4).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
