Zenit Izhevsk form and stats

With 0 Pfl wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, Zenit Izhevsk are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Volga Ulyanovsk in the Pfl last time out and are looking for a win here.

Ahead of that match, Izhevsk lost 0-1 at home to Torpedo Miass.

The lack of attacking qualities in Izhevsk means that they have only scored 2 goals in 7 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Izhevsk with 15 goals conceded in these matches.

Spartak are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Ural 2 (placed 8th).
