The visiting Zenit side should be favourites in this visit to Tambov, as the away team holds a 49 point advantage from their 29 league games this season.
- Tambov have the most conceded goals (60) in Premier League
- Zenit have the most scored goals (71) in Premier League
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Zenit have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Tambov have had a bad season and will be relegated from Premier League. Zenit have already won the Premier League. Congratulations! It will be interesting to see if this affects performances here at the final stages.
Tambov form and stats
Tambov's struggle is real here at Mordovia Arena with only 8 points collected from 14 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-10. All in all it has been a very rough period for Tambov who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 18 attempts. Their previous win was against Rotor Volgograd, 210 days ago. Tambov are slowly digging their own grave here at Mordovia Arena with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in ten attempts. The last victory here came in the Ufa match.
Prior to that, an away loss at Rostov.
The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Zenit to win. Let's see if Tambov are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: four games found revealing zero Tambov wins, zero draws and four defeats.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Tambov here at Mordovia Arena in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 14 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 24 goals have been conceded.
