Zenit – Dynamo Moscow

Zenit Saint Petersburg take on Dynamo Moscow this Friday in Russian Premier League action. Zenit inflicted a humiliating defeat on Spartak Moscow last weekend as they romped to a 7-1 win. Their rivals also registered a victory last weekend, beating Khimki 4-1 at home.

Zenit enjoy a slight edge in this fixture, having won four out of their past six meetings. The other two went Dynamo’s way. Going by their recent form, it is the visitors who are slightly superior, having picked up a point more than Zenit in their last five league outings.

Zenit enjoyed a stunning performance last weekend as they registered their biggest win in the division in the last five years. For that result to come against title rivals Spartak Moscow was a big shock. Nevertheless, the win firmly puts their campaign back on track, having lost successive league matches to Sochi and Arsenal Tula. Zenit remain odds-on favorites to clinch the tie, and we expect them to do just that.
