Dynamo Moscow vs Zenit Prediction & Betting tips
Who can slow this team down in the Russian Premier League? Zenit St. Petersburg already dominated last season and greets again after four game days from the top of the table. With the full number of points on the account, coach Sergey Semak’s team shows that Zenit will have a significant say in the fight for the title this year too.
The next candidate to try to bring the reigning champions the first defeat of the year is Dynamo Moscow. The white-blue team started the new season successfully, but suffered their first setback last weekend.
Now the capital city receives the championship leader in the VTB Arena. Two years ago, coach Kirill Novikov’s team managed the feat of conquering the light blues. With 1-0, the Muscovites retained the upper hand in the only victory in the last ten direct comparisons.
Dynamo Moscow:
The greatest successes for Dynamo were a few years ago. During the times of the former Soviet Union, the team celebrated eleven national championship titles and won the trophy six times. But in recent years, the white-blue have usually been in the shadow of the city rivals Spartak, Lokomotiv and CSKA.
Moscow got off to a good start in the new season. After four games, head coach Kirill Novikov’s team has seven points on the credit side and is fifth in the table at this early stage of the season. The deficit on the upcoming opponent from St. Petersburg is five points.
After victories in Yekaterinburg (2: 0) and against Rostov (2: 0) as well as a goalless draw against the bottom of the table Volgograd, the capital city suffered their first defeat of the season last weekend. With 0: 2, the white and blue drew the short straw at Arsenal Tula. Even for the duel between Dynamo Moscow and Zenit St. Petersburg, the prognosis for a home win is not good.
With only four goals scored, Dynamo is the safest offensive in the upper half of the table. On the other hand, the defensive is the showpiece of the team and has only received two goals so far. They managed a clean sheet in three of the four completed games. Will the Novikov-Elf manage to tame the goal-hungry front runner?
Zenit St. Petersburg:
When it comes to awarding titles in the Russian Premier League, there is no getting around Zenit. The three national titles of champions, cup winners and super cup winners are all currently in the hands of the northern Russians.
After four completed games, the light blues have the optimal score of twelve points and are therefore in first place in the table of the highest Russian league. The lead over the undefeated teams from Spartak Moscow and Sochi is already four points.
After the victories in Volgograd (2: 0), in Rostov (2: 0) and against CSKA Moscow, the light blues confidently defeated FK Tambov with 4: 1 goals last Saturday. This means that Zenit is still unbeaten in 2020. Head coach Sergey Semak’s team suffered their last defeat in December at the Champions League out at Benfica Lisbon.
With ten goals, no Premier League offensive is more successful than that of the six-time champions. The defense of the light blues is doing a great job again this year and conceded only two goals. This is also the best in the league.
At the top of the top scorer list is currently Iranian Sardar Azmoun, who wears the Zenit jersey. He has already managed to overcome the opposing goalkeeper four times. On Wednesday evening, the guests will once again be favored in the race.
