LiontipsZenit — CSKA. Forecast and bets for the RPL Winter Cup Winline match
Command Analysis
Current form
Zenit was approaching the start of the season as the main contender for the championship title, having a significant advantage in the selection of players over their opponents. However, in the first half of the championship, Sergey Semak's team failed to realize this advantage and eventually found itself in the role of catching up, going to the winter break second in the table. However, the championship race is still ahead, Krasnodar went ahead only due to additional indicators, Spartak got to the bottom by two points.
In the winter, Zenit made a high-profile transfer, buying out Brazilian national team player Luis Enrique from Botafogo.
Disqualifications and injuries
Volkov, Vasiliev, Alip, Karavaev were injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Zenit has scored just one victory over CSKA in the last seven matches.
- Zenit has not conceded against CSKA in the last three matches.
Approximate line—up: Latyshonok — Mantuan, Nino, Erakovich, Santos - Wendel, Barrios, Akhmetov — Glushenkov, Sobolev, Mostovoy.
Current form
CSKA hardly had the opportunity to set itself more ambitious goals than the fight for the third place, and even such a task, given the transfer activity of competitors, looks very difficult. In the first part of the season, Marko Nikolic's team did not have much success, made a lot of mistakes and went into the winter break only sixth in the table, six points behind the third Spartak. In the first round of the Winline of the RPL Winter Cup, the Army team beat Rostov 1-0 in a difficult match, starting with a victory.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Army team has no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends
- CSKA have won their last four matches

This bet has been successful in Zenit's last four matches.
1.45CSKA'sbetwill score in the first half
In three of the last four matches of CSKA, such a bet was successful.
2.35Tip and bets
Zenit, to put it mildly, looked unconvincing in recent test matches, losing to Noah and Dynamo Moscow. Obviously, there are still problems with physical fitness, and CSKA, which played a solid match against Rostov in the first round, is also capable of creating problems for the St. Petersburg defense. At the same time, Zenit will clearly have more motivation today, for sure the Russian champion will be as aggressive as possible ahead and charged to win – the duel may well turn out to be productive.
We believe that the match will be productive. The forecast is a total of more than 2.5 goals. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.69
Betting on the outcome
Zenit, from the bookmakers' point of view, is the undisputed favorite of the match, but it makes sense to question this fact. The St. Petersburg team looked weak in the control matches, even though the opponent today is much more principled than Noah or the Jordan national team, the tournament is not official and there will certainly be plenty of experiments. The St. Petersburg team is capable of snatching a victory in the class, but it's hardly worth waiting for a defeat, CSKA has already gained form and is quite capable of giving a fight in such a match.
The bet is an Asian handicap (+1) on CSKA. This bet is offered for 1.65
Betting on corners
Zenit, as the favorite, will probably spend a lot of time attacking, but CSKA is quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
The bet is a total of more than 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.75
