The visiting Zenit side should be favourites in this visit to Ufa, as the away team holds a 40 point advantage from their 28 league games this season.
- Ufa have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Zenit have the most scored goals (71) in Premier League
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.
These teams have little in common geographically as Zenit have to travel 2000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Relegation threatens Ufa who should definitely be looking for some points here. Happy, happy days for Zenit who are already winners of the Premier League. This could affect their motivation.
Ufa form and stats
With 2 Premier League wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Ufa are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Ufa travelled for their previous game, a trip to CSKA Moskva that ended 1-1. Before that game, the home loss against Sochi with the scoreline 2-3.
The Ufa goalkeeper Aleksandr Belenov was crucial in the match against CSKA Moskva last time out, making seven saves.
The Ufa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 13 matches. 18 goals have been conceded.
Zenit form and stats
As the visiting team in Premier League matches, Zenit, who have the most scored goals (71) in Premier League, have produced an overall stat of 5-6-2 so far.
The supporters enjoyed Zenit's previous game versus Lokomotiv Moskva (placed 2nd), a Premier League 6-1 win played at home. Before that, Zenit secured a home win against Rotor Volgograd with the score 6-0.
As mentioned above, Zenit was the only team on the pitch versus Lokomotiv Moskva in their previous game, winning 6-1. This could be a tougher task. It's hard not to mention Sardar Azmoun's lethal finishing against Lokomotiv Moskva. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.
Zenit are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 18 away goals from 13 games (in the league). It's not easy to score on Zenit as they have only conceded 12 goals from these away games.
