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 4th and 14th place in the table will show on the pitch.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Zenit II form and stats
15 points is a decent return from 7 Pfl games here for Zenit II. The data says 4 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses.
The fans are hoping that Zenit II will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Pfl game against Veles (placed 1st). In the match before that, Zenit II hosted Torpedo Vladimir and drew the game 1-1.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (14 in 7 games), Zenit II's attacking play is working. Zenit II are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 7 matches.
Zvezda Sint Petersburg form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Zvezda Sint Petersburg, who have the fewest scored goals (9) in Pfl, so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-7 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Zvezda Sint Petersburg who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Znamya Truda was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Zvezda Sint Petersburg failed to get anything from their last game, a Pfl home match vs Pskov 747 (placed 9th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Veles.
Zvezda Sint Petersburg are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 4 goals from 8 away games. The Zvezda Sint Petersburg manager G. Mikhalyuk has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels.
