Zenit Saint Petersburg takes on Dynamo Moscow tomorrow

Zenit Saint Petersburg travels to the Russian capital tomorrow to take on a Dynamo Moscow side that has endured a mixed start to its Russian Premier League campaign this season. The away side is the favourite in this fixture but will have to be wary of Dynamo Moscow's attacking threat.

Zenit Saint Petersburg has predictably managed an electric start to the season and has a spotless record from its first four games. The reigning Russian champions have scored 10 goals in the league so far and are one of the most dangerous teams in Russia.

Dynamo Moscow endured a 2-0 defeat against Arsenal Tula over the weekend and cannot afford to mull over spilt milk against Zenit Saint Petersburg. The away side has been ruthless in the final third and Dynamo Moscow will have to pull a rabbit out of the hat to keep the Russian champions quiet tomorrow.


Dynamo Moscow vs Zenit Saint Petersburg Head-to-Head

Zenit Saint Petersburg has the head-to-head advantage as far as this fixture is concerned and has won 15 of the 30 fixtures played between the two sides. Dynamo Moscow has won only 7 games but is perfectly capable of pulling off an upset against the Russian powerhouse.

Zenit Saint Petersburg picked up an easy 3-0 victory when these two sides clashed in December. Artem Dzyuba got on to the scoresheet on the day and will look to repeat the feat at the Lev Yashin Stadium tomorrow.
