With their 1 point advantage in the league table, Zenit Irkutsk fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Leningradets.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Zenit Irkutsk form and stats
Only two Pfl home games for Zenit Irkutsk so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
Irkutsk's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Khimki. Heartbreak before that as Zenit Irkutsk lost 0-2 at Luki-Energiya's place.
This is expected to be a close game, with Zenit Irkutsk perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Zenit Irkutsk as a small favourite), we find two games. Zenit Irkutsk has won zero of these, drawn zero and lost two.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Pfl game versus Dinamo Moskva II in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadion Trud Irkutsk.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Zenit Irkutsk at home in the league. 5 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Leningradets form and stats
Things could have gone better for Leningradets in their Pfl away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right. Recent form does not give Leningradets much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Zenit Irkutsk will be a tough nut to crack.
The attacking players of Leningradets have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 327 minutes.
Leningradets's previous game was their home loss versus Ufa (0-1). Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Dolgie Prudy.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Leningradets playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were two Leningradets wins, zero draws and one defeat.
Leningradets has another fixture away, a Pfl game, against Chita in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The visiting Leningradets have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 3 goals from 3 games. In the opposite end, Leningradets have conceded 5 goals in their away games.
