DYM vs ZEN Dream11 Prediction: Zenit St Petersburg travel to face Dynamo Moscow in an important Russian Premier League clash. There was a notable sense of optimism and hope within Dynamo Moscow’s ranks at the start of the season, and they proved why in a confident and efficient 2-0 win over Ural back at the start of August. They were unable to break Rotor down in their next outing as they drew 0-0, but they got back to winning ways just a matter of days later in a 2-0 win over Rostov. In their last game, however, the schedule caught up to them as they were beaten 2-0 by Arsenal Tula. After winning both the Russian Cup and the Russian Super Cup, Zenit took their positive run of form into the new campaign with a professional 2-0 victory over Rotor. They proceeded to beat Rostov 2-0 with ten men, and then against CSKA Moscow, they kept their cool and managed to edge out a nice 2-1 win. Their latest game came against Tambov, and despite their busy schedule, they kept the train rolling in a 4-1 success.

While upsets can always happen at the highest level, it seems unlikely that we’ll see anything other than a resounding Zenit victory tomorrow night. They have more flair, a better structure, and they’re 100% capable of breaking Dynamo down in pretty much every area of the pitch. The hosts have done very little to give fans hope that they can make a push for the title, whereas Zenit are already starting to look like champions-elect after just a handful of games. We predict a 2-0 win for Zenit in today match prediction.
