An interesting Russian Premier League game awaits as Zenit Saint Petersburg visit ailing Arsenal Tula on Saturday.

The visitors suffered a setback last weekend when they lost 2-1 to FC Sochi. It was Zenit’s first loss of the season. Nevertheless, they retain pole position before their trip to Arsenal Tula.

The hosts are languishing 14th in the table and need an immediate change of fortune if they are to avoid the fall.

Prediction Arsenal Tula vs Zenit Saint Petersburg

Zenit will enter this game as an overwhelming favorite. They will aim to secure a home win and regain their lost form.

Arsenal Tula are fighting for form. With a third of the season already done, they have a long way to go if they hope to play Premier League football next season.

Zenit’s loss to FC Sochi gave hope to other title contenders, as the former did not appear vulnerable until last weekend. Arsenal Tula find themselves in a decent position to grab that advantage as Zenit’s confidence is shaken.
