1st position in the Premier League table for Zenit so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 8th-placed Ufa visits Saint-Petersburg Stadium.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
It's quite the trip for Ufa when visiting Zenit as the cities are 2000 kilometers apart.
Zenit form and stats
Zenit, who have the most scored goals (37) in Premier League, have performed here at Saint-Petersburg Stadium this season with 6 wins from 10 Premier League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 4 games and lost 0.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Andrey Lunev not having conceded a league goal in 294 minutes.
Happy days for Zenit in their previous game, a Russian Cup match away at Akhmat Grozny (after extra-time) (placed 14th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. In the match before that, Zenit hosted Lokomotiv Moskva and drew the Premier League game 0-0.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of S. Semak when Y. Zhirkov scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 64th minute.
Zenit are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found seven matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won six, drew one and lost zero.
The Zenit manager S. Semak has got the team scoring with 22 from 10 home games in the league. As for guarding their own goal, Zenit have only let in 5 goals at home.
Ufa form and stats
There's been little loot from Ufa's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 10 away games in the Premier League. Ufa only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 4 draws.
Ufa are travelling again after losing away to Krasnodar in their previous match (0-2). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Akhmat Grozny at their stadium, the result 1-0.
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Ufa played away with similar odds. This revealed three games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, one were draw and the home team won as expected two times.
