Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Matches won; 3) Head-to-head points; 4) Head-to-head matches won; 5) Head-to-head goal difference; 6) Head-to-head goals scored; 7) Head-to-head away goals; 8) Goal difference; 9) Goals scored; 10) Away goals scored.^[40]
(Q) Qualified to the phase indicated; (X) Assured of at least Europa League, but may still qualify for Champions League.
Notes:

1. Head-to-head record: Zenit – Krasnodar 0–2, Krasnodar – Zenit 0–0.
2. Zenit Saint Petersburg qualified for the Europa League group stage by winning the 2015–16 Russian Cup, but could still qualify for Champions League if they finish in top two.
3. Since the winners of the 2015–16 Russian Cup, Zenit Saint Petersburg, currently qualify for European competition based on their league position, the fifth-placed team currently qualifies for at least Europa League third qualifying round. This because if one of the top four teams would win the cup, the spot in third qualifying round would be given to the fifth-placed team.
