Zenit host Krasnodar at the Gazprom Arena in the Russian Premier League on Saturday.It's still early doors, but Zenit have started off their campaign with two wins from two and are currently tied at the top of the table with Rubin Kazan. Sergey Semak's side have won three games in a row across all competitions this season, scoring 10 goals along the way. They should be confident of getting another win going into Saturday's fixture.Krasnodar, on the other hand, are heading into the game off the back of a 1-0 loss against Khimki last time out. Viktor Goncharenko's side started off their campaign with a 3-0 win against Ural and will hope to replicate that performance when they take on the defending champions on Saturday.🌞 𝘖𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘷𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘡𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 🎶 pic.twitter.com/FUjyJrvYyC— FC Zenit in English✨ (@fczenit_en) August 4, 2021Zenit have a chance of extending their lead at the top of the table by beating Krasnodar in what is sure to be a feisty fixture.Zenit vs Krasnodar Head-to-HeadZenit have dominated the recent head-to-head record between the two sides and are unbeaten in their last five meetings against Krasnodar, winning three of them.The two sides played out a 2-2 draw the last time they met back in April.
