1.82Tip and bets
Even on its home court, Avtodor did not look convincing. The team from Saratov lost to Uralmash without much resistance and was routed by CSKA. It is unlikely that it will be able to perform better in the confrontation with Zenit.
Javier Pascual charges continue to fight for higher places in the tournament table and will not play half-heartedly. We expect that Zenit players will properly prepare for the match and will not leave their opponents a chance.
Our prediction is Zenit with a handicap of (-9.5) points for 1.76
