Venue: Stadion Zenit (4000 seats)

Zenit Irkutsk hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 3 points and a 6th position in the Pfl table. Visiting Dinamo Barnaul holds 3rd place with 10 pts.

It's no vacation for neither Zenit Irkutsk nor Dinamo Barnaul as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike Dinamo Barnaul's home stadium. The visitors last five games on artificial turf have ended in 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses. It's quite the trip for Dinamo Barnaul when visiting Zenit Irkutsk as the cities are 1900 kilometers apart.

Zenit Irkutsk form and stats

1-0-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Pfl numbers at home for Zenit Irkutsk, who have the fewest scored goals (2) in Pfl, so far this season. It's trouble wherever Zenit Irkutsk are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The Zenit Irkutsk manager O. Yakovlev might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The Zenit Irkutsk fans got no joy from their last match, a Pfl game also here at Stadion Zenit: A 0-1 defeat against Dinamo Barnaul (placed 3rd). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Chita.

The lack of attacking qualities in Zenit Irkutsk means that they have only scored 2 goals in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. 4 goals have been conceded.

Dinamo Barnaul form and stats

The visitors are W1-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Pfl.

It's the second away game in a row for Dinamo Barnaul, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Zenit Irkutsk (placed 6th) in the Pfl last time out. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Novosibirsk that ended 1-1.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Dinamo Barnaul as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Dinamo Barnaul have seen the ball go into their own net 5 times on the road.
