3.15Tip and bets
Zenit is in good shape and certainly aims to win the Cup, today the hosts will be extremely determined. It is always difficult to play in Grozny, even despite the crisis of Akhmat, so today the Petersburgers will clearly try to get a comfortable advantage. The Wolves are in crisis and at the moment the upcoming match against Zenit in the championship is much more important, the rotation today will clearly be large-scale. It makes sense to count on a confident victory for the favorite.
We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Zenit . This bet is offered with odds of 2.09
Bet on total
Zenit will certainly be maximally charged for victory and will certainly put serious pressure on the opponent goal from the first minutes. Akhmat is extremely vulnerable in defense and it is highly likely that this pressure will bear fruit in the first half. At the same time, the "wolves" score regularly against Zenit, they are unlikely to spend the entire match in defense, and an exchange of goals will certainly take place.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.95
Bet on corners
Zenit are the favourites and will probably dominate for the entire 90 minutes – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2.5) on corners for Zenit. This bet is offered for 1.85
