LiontipsRostov – Zenit. Forecast and bets for the RPL Winter Cup Winline match
Command Analysis
Current form
In preparation for the resumption of the season, Rostov played three friendly matches. In matches with the not-so-formidable Sogdiana from Uzbekistan and Rodina, victories were registered, and with Lokomotiv (0:2), Valery Karpin's wards lost with almost no chance. As part of the Winline of the RPL Winter Cup, Rostov lost to CSKA (0:1), although they looked good in the game, they created a sufficient number of dangerous moments, but they did not score. Now, under no circumstances will Rostov finish in first place in the group. To take the second position and play in the match for the third place, it is necessary to win in regular time today.
Disqualifications and injuries
El-Ascalani will miss the match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last five matches, Rostov has drawn in the first half.
- One of the teams did not score goals in the previous three matches of Rostov
Approximate line—up: Yatimov — Vakhaniya, Osipenko, Sako, Radchenko — Komarov, Glebov, Shchetinin - Ronaldo, Komlichenko, Mokhebi.
Current form
Zenit does not conduct friendly matches in the best way, which is largely due to decent physical exertion. The St. Petersburg team held three sparring matches, in which they defeated only the Jordan national team (1-0). Defeats were recorded in the matches against Dynamo Moscow (1:3) and Noah (1:2). At the same time, already in the Winline match of the RPL Winter Cup against CSKA, Sergei Semak's team looked more confident, the speeds were solid. That meeting ended with a score of 2:2 in regular time, and in the penalty shootout, the players from St. Petersburg turned out to be more accurate. A victory today at the end of regular time will allow Zenit to compete for first place in the tournament.
Disqualifications and injuries
Volkov, Vasiliev, and Karavaev are injured and will not play today.
Interesting betting trends
- In three consecutive matches with Zenit, an exchange of goals was recorded
- At least three goals were scored in Zenit's three previous matches
The approximate composition: Latyshonok — Mantuan, Nino, Drkusic, Santos — Wendel, Barrios, Glushenkov — Enrique, Gondu, Mostovoy.

7.90Tip and bets
The match against CSKA Moscow demonstrated that Sergey Semak's team is gradually getting out from under decent physical exertion and is gaining momentum. There is a high probability that Zenit will progress with each match now. Rostov is too unstable, there are obvious problems with the implementation of the moments. Plus, Rostov residents traditionally play unsuccessfully against St. Petersburg, they have not beaten them since 2019. We expect that the bookmakers' favorite will win confidently in regular time and continue to fight for the trophy.
Our forecast is for Zenit to win with an Asian handicap (-1) by a factor of 1.92
Bet on the total
Zenit's matches in preparation for the resumption of the season are highly productive, with at least three goals scored in the previous three matches. We don't expect our opponents to play too closely today.

The first half bet
It should be noted that in three of the last five face-to-face matches, Zenit indicated its advantage at the start and won at the end of the first half. We expect that this time, Sergei Semak's team will confidently start the game and win in the opening 45 minutes.
The forecast is Zenit's victory in the first half with a coefficient of 2.02
