2nd position in the Premier League table for Zenit so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 10th-placed Krasnodar visits.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Krasnodar have to travel 2000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Krasnodar form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Krasnodar so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-4 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Krasnodar have lost on their last two travels.
Krasnodar lost away at Sevilla (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Prior to that match, the Krasnodar manager M. Musaev faced defeat when travelling to Akhmat Grozny and losing 0-2.
A huge disappointment for Krasnodar in their last match (vs Sevilla). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat. It's a bit worrying for Krasnodar that their goalkeeper Matvey Safonov made eight saves in the Sevilla game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Krasnodar have scored 7 goals in 7 league games away. Krasnodar have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
