Recent HistoryÂ
Until recent years, the Zenit St Petersburg squad-known affectionately by some fans as the Anti-Aircraft Gunners-hadn't been much of a factor in Russian or Soviet football for a long time. Instead, the sport of soccer in this country has long been all about CSKA Moscow or Spartak Moscow.
The dominance of these two teams in the Premiere League began to shift in 2007, when the Anti-Aircraft Gunners won their first title since 1984 (and only their second overall). Additional victories in 2010 and 2012 marked the club as a true contender in the division.
Consecutive runner-up finishes in 2012 2013 and 2013 2014 only further solidified that status. Now, the Zenit St Petersburg soccer jersey is seen as the uniform of one of Russian football's true heavyweights!
The Current Season
The Anti-Aircraft Gunners have certainly been living up to that lofty reputation thus far in the 2014 2015 Russian Premiere League. Indeed, the club is currently leading the way in the division, just ahead of last year's champs, CSKA Moscow.
Zenit's excellent record began right at the start of the new season, with two towering victories. The first, a 4-1 away win against Arsenal Tula, kicked things off in high fashion, showing that the team plays well in both the home shirt and away jersey.
The second saw players donning the Zenit St Petersburg home shirt 2014 2015 to take on Torpedo Moscow. Though the club wasn't one of city's best, the match was still a euphoric one for fans of the Anti-Aircraft Gunners. Salomon Rondon and Alexander Kerzhakov each scored two goals to lead the squad to an 8-1 victory. It is easily the biggest home win that the division has seen thus far this season.
Zenit also owns the biggest away win of the league so far this fall, a recent 5-0 win against Rostov. Rondon was again the star of the match, delivering a hat trick of goals at the 11, 57, and 73-minute markers, respectively. He truly did dominate the match from beginning to end.
Upcoming FixturesÂ
So what's next for this talented football squad? Will they continue to win matches by huge margins of victory, or have they merely gotten lucky so far by facing lesser teams?
First of all, it's important to note that there have been some very challenging opponents so far. On September 13th, a week before the roaring victory over Rostov, players wore the Zenit St Petersburg home shirt 2014 2015 to take on Dynamo Moscow.
Currently ranked in third place on the Russian Premiere League standings, the Dynamo jersey has an impressive record of 6 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses at this point in time. One of those losses was the Zenit match, which ended in a score of 3-2.
With that said, though, the Anti-Aircraft Gunners will face three of the toughest teams in the division in November-all consecutively, no less. The first, a match on November 1st against CSKA Moscow, promises to be the most explosive. However, fixtures with Terek Grozny and Kuban Krasnodar-both currently top five football teams in the league, will also present challenges.
As a result, the division standings could look markedly different come the end of November. If you want to root for the current leaders, though, pick up a new Zenit St Petersburg soccer jersey or home shirt from Soccer Box!
