Zenit are favourites to win this home fixture against Ufa, if the league positions are anything to judge by. Or could we be looking at a possible?
- Zenit have the most scored goals (47) in Premier League
- Ufa have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
There have been limited time to rest for the host team, as they had a Russian Cup match only four days earlier. Thankfully the previous game, versus KAMAZ, was also a home game. The away team is better rested.
Zenit form and stats
Zenit have been very solid at home in the Premier League so far, with 25 points collected from 10 matches (8-1-1). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table.
Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Rubin Kazan'.It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Zenit have performed as huge favourites like they are today: six games found in the database showing six Zenit wins, zero draws and zero defeats.
Zenit always seem capable of creating a buzz here with 31 goals in 10 league games. Zenit have conceded 13 in these home matches.
Ufa form and stats
Ufa have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-3-6 (10 played). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Stukalov, the Ufa manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Ufa, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Akhmat Grozny (placed 5th). Zhuravlev, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.82. Zhuravlev scored one goal and won 12 of 16 duels.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Lokomotiv Moskva wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.The attacking power of Ufa when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 10 league matches away. Ufa have conceded 16 goals in these games.
