Game Preview: Zenit Looking to Stem their Lead on the Table

While this fixture looks easy for the visitors, our game preview below should shed more light.

Krasnodar

Krasnodar are tenth on the Premier League table with 34 points, which translates to 1.36 points per match. The hosts have won seven, drawn 3 three and lost three games at home. They have scored 31 goals in 13 home fixtures so far and conceded 18 hence. It is highly likely they will score on Saturday. However, Krasnodar lost the reverse fixture 3-1 and it could be difficult to win the return leg on Saturday given their current poor run of form.

Zenit

Zenit has four victories, one loss and one draw in their last six League games. They have scored in all their last 20 matches in all competitions, including in fixtures that they lost. With only 10 goals conceded on the road and 16 scored, Zenit will hope to clinch a fifth consecutive victory at Krasnodar. Moreover, their good run of form will play significance in a fixture that will either narrow or extend their lead at the top of Russian Premier League table.
