Russia – Premier League

The Lions have long been the best team in the country and were expected to win the title last year, also in impressive style. In fact, they had a 15-point lead over second-placed Lokomotiv Moscow at the end of the season.

Meanwhile, it was the team that scored the most goals in the competition: 65, and the second best, only 49. And it also conceded the lowest number: 18, and no other team managed to keep it below 20.

They too raced to the top of the table this time around and made a confident statement that they are defending their title.

And to tip the scales even further in their favour, they face Sergei Pervushin's men, who had risen to the top flight the previous season. Not only are they inexperienced, they also have a 100% losing record against their rivals, and are off to a worrying start to their new campaign.

Of course, expect Zenit to win this Saturday.
