Zenit
- Zenit are flying high in the 2026-2027 Premier League with four wins and a draw from their last five games and they have won four in a row, so they look to have some momentum to take into Sunday's game against Dynamo.
- Maksim Glushenkov has been the most prolific striker in this five-match winning run, scoring three of Zenit's six goals, while Pedrinho has three assists.
- Aleksandr Sobolev is the main threat in the penalty area for Zenit, however, and has seven goals in nine league games, the most of any player in this fixture.
Dynamo
- Dynamo will be much less direct in their approach with Sandro Schwarz's team relying on a compact low-block, discipline, set-piece plays and the speed of their full-backs and wingers to create counter attacks.
- Dynamo are in bad form, however, with no wins, one draw and four defeats from their last five fixtures, so momentum is certainly not on their side ahead of this matchup.
- The visitors have scored 10 goals in six games away from home, with two wins, no draws and four losses, which is respectable, but they won't have the service from their full-backs or wingers to set up enough chances to challenge Zenit's back four in this one.
- Gamid Agalarov is the highest goalscorer for Dynamo in the 2026-2027 Premier League, scoring five goals in nine appearances, three of which have come in their last five.
