The manager S. Semak looks to inspire Zenit win against Arsenal Tula

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.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Zenit form and stats

Zenit, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) in Premier League, have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Premier League. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

Zenit are returning here after visiting Spartak Moskva in a Premier League game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Ufa (0-1).

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Zenit home games with this odds we find seven games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in 5 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats. Looking at the victories, 3 matches were won by at least two goals.
