LiontipsKhimki vs Zenit. Prediction and bets on the Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Khimki lack stability at the start - in the summer, Frank Artig's team received reinforcements and is quite capable of solving the problem of staying in the Premier League with the current selection of players, but time is needed. For now, the "red-blacks" occupy 11th place in the table and are only one point ahead of the transitional matches zone.
This week, Khimki lost 1:3 to Rostov away in the Cup, suffering their second defeat in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kirill Panchenko and Sergei Terekhov are out of the game for Khimki.
Interesting trends for betting
- Khimki have never beaten Zenit - 13 defeats and a draw
- Khimki lost their last two matches
Estimated lineup : Obukhov – Filin, Farina, Gogua – Fernandez, Khosonov, Vera, Orinho – Rudenko, Zabolotny, Magomedov.
Current form
Zenit started the season brilliantly – Sergey Semak’s team has not lost a single point in the championship yet. The last round match against Dynamo was important from the point of view of the fight for the title, in which the “blue-white-blues” did not show their best game, but won 1:0, managing to become the sole leaders of the championship.
In the Cup this week, Zenit, with a far from top lineup, beat Rubin 1-0 away, achieving their seventh win in a row this season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Zenit has no problems with its roster.
Interesting trends for betting
- Zenit have won all seven matches this season
- Zenit have not conceded in their last six matches
Estimated lineup : Latyshonok – Santos, Nino, Erakovic, Karavaev – Pedro, Barrios, Claudino, Wendel, Glushenkov – Cassiera.

1.35Tip and bets
Zenit is in great shape, as evidenced by seven victories in a row - the guests will certainly not stop there. Khimki have looked unimpressive in recent matches and are seriously inferior in class to their opponents - in such a state, the hosts are hardly capable of creating a sensation.
We think that the hosts have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1.5) for Zenit . This bet is offered with odds of 1.91
Bet on total
Zenit have scored only two goals in their last two matches, but today it makes sense to expect a more productive game from the favorite. Khimki have problems in defense, and they are unlikely to sit at their goal the entire match; at home this season, the red-blacks have scored in all matches – the match may well be productive.
Bet - total over 2.5 goals. This bet is offered with odds of 1.67
Bet on corners
Zenit are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the visitors should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Zenit. This bet is offered for 1.69
