Tip and bets
Zenit got in good shape and in the two previous rounds, they looked much better than their opponents. Krasnodar were not convincing in any of their games - they have problems in defense, and in general, the Bulls are still out of form. Zenit look stronger and they should win confidently.
We believe that the visitors have no chance. Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1) to Zenit.
Zenit made two mistakes in the game against Rostov, which led to conceded goals. But at the same time, they played very well in the attack and scored four goals. They created multiple chances against Khimki, too. Krasnodar regularly fail in defense, and Zenit will use that to their advantage. Winning by two goals should be easy for the current champions.
Our second bet - Zenit to win by 2 goals.
