Krasnodar form and stats
7 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Krasnodar have to build on here at Stadion FK Krasnodar in the Premier League. Krasnodar has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager V. Goncharenko and the players. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Krasnodar, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 219 minutes without scoring a league goal. Y. Gazinskiy was the last player to find the net.
Krasnodar faced defeat in their previous match, away at Arsenal Tula (0-1). Preceding that match was a defeat to Akhmat Grozny (0-5).
Goals decide football matches and Krasnodar are scoring many of them at home; 31 on target from 13 league matches. On the other hand, Krasnodar have conceded 18 goals. It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Zenit form and stats
Playing away, Zenit, who have the most scored goals (57) in Premier League, have won 5 games, drawn 5 and suffered 2 defeats in the Premier League this season. The fact that Zenit have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Zenit are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Zenit play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Sochi (placed 7th). Before that, Zenit secured a home win against Khimki with the score 2-0.
Zenit have scored 16 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (10 so far). It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Zenit - Krasnodar 3-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Krasnodar victories, two draws and six Zenit wins.
