Command Analysis

Zenit St. Petersburg

Current form

Zenit continues to dominate the Russian Premier League, but has recently been increasingly facing competition from its rivals. Last season, the St. Petersburg club almost lost the championship title to Krasnodar and Dynamo, and now the team went into the winter break in second place, behind Krasnodar on additional indicators. Spartak Moscow is also not far behind, lagging behind by only two points. The autumn part of the championship ended disappointingly for the current champion - Sergei Semak charges suffered defeats from Krylia Sovetov (2:3) and Akron (1:2), who are inferior in class. Brazilian winger Luis Henrique, bought from Brazilian Botafogo for an impressive 35 million euros, is called upon to solve the problems in the game.

Tip and bets

Tiphandicap (+1.5) on Jordan

1.90

The Jordanian national team has a good chance to be at the World Cup for the first time in its history. This team should not be underestimated, the Jordanians give a fight even to the strongest representatives of their region. Considering that Zenit play has recently raised serious questions, we believe that it will not be easy for the St. Petersburg team.

Our betting tip is Asian handicap (+1.5) on Jordan for 1.90

Will the prediction win?

Tiptotal under 3.5 goals

1.68

Bet on total

Zenit players are just getting into the training process and have not yet acquired the necessary game form. Jordan is quite good in defense and has kept a clean sheet in two of the last three matches. Most likely, the Asian team will take the match with the Russian champion seriously and will play reliably at their goal.

Our prediction is total under 3.5 goals at 1.68

Bet on the first half

We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.

Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 2.95
