Spartak - Zenit: betting tip (cf 3.25) and bets on the Premier League match

Current form

Spartak approached the start of the season as one of the contenders for the championship title, although it was not the favorite in this fight, losing to Zenit in terms of player selection. At the start, and indeed in the first half of the season as a whole, the red and white made a lot of mistakes and were outside the top five for a long time, without giving even a hint of joining the fight for the title.

However, closer to the winter break, Spartak gained great form and won victory after victory, quickly managing to break up the table – during the winter break, Spartak players were already clear contenders for gold. After the winter break at home, Deyan Stankovich's team easily beat the crisis Orenburg with a score of 2:0, gaining another victory.

However, in the last round, Spartak stumbled quite unexpectedly – in the away match against Rubin, the red and white were considered favorites, but eventually lost 1-2 to Kazan. So far, Spartak is third in the table and three points behind Zenit and Krasnodar. Last week, Spartak beat Akron 3-2 in the Cup and made it to the quarterfinals along the way of the regions.

Current form

Zenit was considered the main contender for the championship title before the start of the season – Sergey Semak's team significantly outperformed all competitors in terms of player selection. The blue-white-blues started very powerfully and immediately found themselves on the first line in the table, but they could not significantly break away from the competitors, the winning streak was soon interrupted and several mistakes were made in the first round.

As a result, Zenit lost the first place to Krasnodar, and before the winter break it completely fell into a serious crisis, giving out a protracted unsuccessful series. Krasnodar did not take advantage of its chance and made mistakes synchronously, but Spartak did not waste time and pulled up close. In the first match after the winter break, Zenit made a mistake again, describing a goalless draw with CSKA.

In the last round, Zenit left no chance for Fakel, scoring a confident 2-0 victory in Voronezh, but losing Wendel due to disqualification. Thus, while the blue-white-blues are second in the table and lag behind Krasnodar due to additional indicators, Spartak has three points less. Last week Zenit beat Rostov 1-0 in the first match of the Cup semi-final on the way to the RPL, but this result has yet to be defended on its own field in the return leg.

Disqualifications and injuries

Wendell is disqualified. Volkov, Vasiliev and Karavaev are injured.

Interesting betting trends
