Vidi forward Danko Lazovic has 47 international caps to his name. He also played for Zenit in 51 games between 2010 and 2013, which brought him 17 goals. He helped them to two league titles in 2010 and 2012.
Season 2015-16 resulted in a 3rd place finish behind CSKA Moscow and Rostov. That brought them a place in the Europa League group stage. Zenit have won 5 and lost 1 of their group matches. They will face Belgium club Anderlecht in the knock out stages in February. Zenit have played 17 league games this season in the domestic championship. They sit in second place and 5 points behind the Moscow side, which includes former Vidi striker Ze Luis.
