1.80Tip and bets
This season, Zenit players pay a lot of attention to defense. They act cautiously under their own basket. For example, in the last three matches, the team from St. Petersburg did not allow their opponents to score more than 74 points. It would be stupid to change tactics that bring success. In this regard, we assume that the match will be low-scoring.
Our prediction is total under 164.5 points at 1.80
Bet on the outcome
Zenit may well stop CSKA, because the team will play on its home court. The St. Petersburg team is approaching the confrontation with the Muscovites in excellent playing form, because they have an impressive winning streak. We suggest giving preference to the home team.
Prediction: Zenit win for 1.77
Bet on statistics
In the last four matches, Zenit scored more than 82 points. We expect the team from St. Petersburg to please us with similar actions.
Forecast - "Zenit": total over 82.5 points for 1.82
