The Saint Petersburg derby was the association football local derby between two Saint Petersburg based teams – Dynamo Saint Petersburg and Zenit.[1]

History

The first derby between Zenit and Dynamo (at that time Zenit were called Stalinets) took place in October 1938 in during USSR Championship. Stalinets (now - Zenit) won with a score 4:3. At all, the Zenit won the derby 17 times, the Dynamo - 11 times. Five matches ended in a draw. In every game, you can see colourful performances of fans of both teams, but especially of Zenit's, because of a small number of Dynamo fans, since the fall of the Soviet Union.

During 2017/2018 season, there was a rivalry between Zenit and FC Tosno, from Leningrad oblast, which called sometimes as North-west Derby. The teams have played against each other twice only, with Zenit winning both games (5:0 in 2010, and 2:0 in 2017). Since 2018/2019 season there is another rivalry with FC Leningradets, but the clubs did not compete yet.
