Ural form and stats
Ural's struggle is real here at Ekaterinburg Arena with only 6 points collected from 7 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-3.
Ural haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 326 minutes ago. E. Bicfalvi scored that one.
An away draw last time out for Ural, facing Khimki in a game that ended 0-0. The attacking player Eric Bicfalvi was named "man of the match" for Ural with the rating of 7.81/10. Bicfalvi hit one key pass.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting KAMAZ (0-1).Ural have scored 4 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. 7 goals have been conceded.
Zenit form and stats
The visitors, who have the most scored goals (34) in Premier League, are W3-D2-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.
There might be some fixture complaints from Zenit as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Champions League match against Juventus (2-4). As you can tell from the result, the match against Juventus was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? It is possibly a bad omen for Zenit that their goalkeeper Stanislav Kritsyuk managed six saves in the Juventus fixture, but still were unable to stop a loss. Attacker Sardar Azmoun got a player rating of 7.43 in the game. "Man of the match" Azmoun scored one goal.
Prior to that match, a home win 4-1 against Dinamo Moskva in the Premier League.Zenit have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 13 goals from 6 away matches. As opposed to that, Zenit have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
