1.75Tip and bets
Once again, we suggest betting on a low-scoring outcome. Zenit has repeatedly proven that it is not going to act aggressively and approaches matches very carefully. Defense is always in first place for Javier Pascual's team and it is unlikely that the match with a key rival will be played differently. Most likely, the hosts will try to extinguish the attacking ardor of the guests, so we do not believe in high scoring. The opponents should not score more than 158 points.
Our prediction is total under 158.5 points at 1.75
Bet on the outcome
Zenit plays hard against its main rivals. If the team wins, it does so by a few points. It is quite possible that it will not be able to crush Lokomotiv-Kuban.
