Zenit St. Petersburg will play Dynamo Moscow at home in the central match of the fourth round of the Russian Premier League on Saturday. Your attention is drawn to the forecast for this meeting.
Zenit
Zenit are leading the Premier League standings, having not allowed a single misfire this season, while scoring a lot of goals. In the first two rounds, the blue-white-Blues defeated Krylia Sovetov and Rubin on the road with the same score 4-0. In the first home matches of the season, Sergey Semak's team also defeated dryly – in the Russian Cup "Fakel" (3:0) and in the framework of the RPL "Rostov" (5:0).
Dynamo Moscow
Dynamo was as close as possible to becoming the champion of Russia in the last round, but lost in the last round, eventually losing 1 point to Zenit. Now it is still moving level with the national champion in points scored, but winning a little more modestly. In their native walls, Marcel Lichka's team beat Fakel and Lokomotiv with the same score 3:1, after which they prevailed over Akron (2:0) on someone else's field.
