With the outbreak of the deadly COVID-19 across Europe, almost every European League has been shut down due to fear of further spread of the deadly virus. However, the likes of Turkey, Russia and Ukraine have carried on with their respective leagues with no major report of the virus in these countries.

Given there will be limited matches for football fans to choose from this weekend, many eyes will be cast on the Russian Premier League. Expect a massive turnout of fans at the Gazprom Arena as well as large online streaming audiences for this particular fixture.

The home side are a whopping six points clear of second-placed Krasnodar and look well on course to defending their league title. They should be celebrating league success come the end of the season, except a heavy unlikely meltdown goes down at the club.

Expect an entertaining and enthralling game, laden with lots of goals in Zenit, as these two sides lock horns in what is expected to be a thriller.

Zenit St. Petersburg vs FC Ural Team News

The Zeniters are the toppers of the table, and they have been dominating this opponent in h2h clashes for a very long time. At home this weekend, Zenit St. Petersburg will be expected to make light work of this rival, who hold a 100% losing record at this venue.

The Zeniters were held to a goalless draw the last match-day at home by Ufa. While the former did keep alive their unbeaten streak, they still dropped two points, and the team will be eager to get back to their winning ways.

Meanwhile, the Bumblebees lost 2-0 on the road against the dead-last placed Sochi. The fact that the team lost against the worst of the lot, that too without scoring a single goal – will have an effect on the confidence level of the players, especially with them being pitted against the league toppers.

Going on, the hosts have been the best team by a mile in the competition. They have scored the second-most number of goals in the contest and have conceded the least. In fact, they are yet to touch the 10-goal mark in terms of goals conceded, while every other team have let in 20 or more.

Moreover, the home side hold a 100% unbeaten record against this opponent in the prior two decades (would have been a 100% winning record if not for a single draw), and at this venue, they hold a proper 100% winning streak.

Furthermore, the Zeniters have scored two or more goals in 12 of the last 14 h2h meetings, and at this venue, they hold a combined scorecard of 16-3, from the last six h2h match-ups. Considering all these stats, it’s evident that Zenit St. Petersburg are the overwhelming favorites this weekend.
