Zenit is clearly on the move right now. The team recently confidently coped with CSKA, and removed other rivals from its path quite easily. It is likely that the team from St. Petersburg will be able to succeed, because they do it too often on their site.
As for Kazan, their winning streak has gone on too long. Zenit looks like the kind of opponent that can stop them. In this regard, we suggest betting on Javier Pascual's wards.
Our forecast is Zenit with a handicap of (-2.5) points in 1.75
Bet on the total
The last two face-to-face meetings of the rivals were not productive. At that time, no more than 155 points were scored. It is unlikely that the teams will perform brighter now.
Forecast — total less than 159.5 points for 1.75
Betting on statistics
Zenit did not score even 80 points in any of the previous matches. With the best teams in the league, St. Petersburg tries to use defensive tactics. In this regard, we doubt that they will be able to play well in attack.
Prediction — Zenit: total less than 80.5 points in 1.78
