Zenit U19 form and stats

Zenit U19 are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Youth League, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). Zenit seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The manager K. Zyryanov was unhappy after their last game, a Youth League match played at their home ground. Zenit suffered a 1-3 loss to Rostov U19 (placed 7th).

Prior to that match, the Zenit manager K. Zyryanov faced defeat when travelling to Akhmat Grozny U19 and losing 3-4.

A new game in only three days for Zenit U19, the Youth League home match versus Krasnodar U19. Busy days.

Zenit are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Zenit's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 8 goals in 3 travels.

Head 2 Head

Zenit U19 - Sochi U19 3-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season.
