Will the blue-white-Blues be able to justify their status as favorites and make a bid for the Superfinal today, or will the Army team remain undefeated in St. Petersburg for the fourth time in a row? In the betting tip, we analyzed in detail the form in which the teams approach the face-to-face meeting and selected the most reliable bids. What will be the outcome?
Command Analysis
Zenit St. Petersburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
Zenit was clearly betting on the championship title and had every reason to set maximum goals for themselves – Sergey Semak's team had no equal in the Premier League in terms of player selection. Having given a great start, the blue-white-blues gradually stalled and began to lose points, losing the lead even before the winter break and letting Spartak close in on them.
After the winter break, Zenit failed to get into optimal shape and continued to lose points, not showing the best football. At the same time, largely due to the mistakes of competitors, the blue-white-blues still remain in the championship race and occupy second place in the table, four points behind the leader Krasnodar. CSKA is three points behind, Spartak is four points behind, and they also pose a threat so far.
In the Cup, Zenit was lucky with the draw in the group and in the company of Rubin, Akron and Fakel, the St. Petersburg team were considered clear favorites and easily won it. In the quarterfinals, Akhmat became easy prey, the wolves were beaten in each of the matches. Rostov did not create any serious problems either, which frankly slowed down in the second half of the season – a 3-0 victory secured a ticket to the finals of the RPL.

CSKA Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
By the start of the season, CSKA was approaching as a contender for a place in the top three – even such a task seemed impossible for Marko Nikolic's team, given the competitors' summer transfer campaign. In the first half of the season, the Army team could not jump over their heads, but at the same time they did not allow themselves outright failures, keeping the top three in sight and gradually adding.
After the winter break, CSKA transformed and began to take points regularly. From a contender for bronze, the army team quickly turned into contenders for gold, although the status is still very formal. With 51 points in the asset, CSKA is in third place in the table and seven points behind the leader Krasnodar, three points ahead of Zenit. Having beaten Spartak 2-1 in the derby in the last round, CSKA extended its unbeaten streak in all tournaments to 13 matches.
In the CSKA Cup, he fought against Akhmat, Krasnodar and Paris NN in the same group, where he was the favorite and justified this status by easily winning the quartet with 14 points. Rubin managed to pass without any problems in the quarterfinals, but in the semifinals the opponent was much higher level. Nevertheless, the Army team also dealt with Dynamo Moscow quite easily, beating the blue and white with a score of 2:1 in the sum of two matches.

1.35Tip and bets
Zenit is fighting for the Premier League title and, of course, the upcoming match against Paris NN is now a priority for St. Petersburg, which will be the main bet, especially since there will also be a return match in Moscow against CSKA in the Cup. For sure, the army team will try to take advantage of their chance and play bravely – Nikolic's wards are excellent at execution and are in good shape on the whole, it will be difficult for Zenit to win back to zero. At the same time, even taking into account possible permutations, Zenit is quite capable of responding at home.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.09
Betting on the outcome
Zenit is unlikely to play with the strongest squad today, but at the same time, the reserve from St. Petersburg is of very high quality and even without several key players, the hosts still remain the favorites of the match. CSKA is in good shape, but ahead of the army team's trip to Grozny, and then the match against Krasnodar, there is also a need to save energy. The match will obviously be difficult for each side, but the blue-white-blues are quite capable of achieving a minimal victory on their own field, and a bet is also clearly being placed on winning the Cup.
The bet is Zenit's victory. This bet is offered for 1.75
Combined bid
Zenit is definitely the favorite of the match and the confrontation in general – the hosts have a serious advantage in the selection of players and also have the opportunity to rotate without significant loss in quality. The St. Petersburg team is quite capable of winning the first match, but it is unlikely that they will be able to beat CSKA dry – the army team are in the best shape for the whole season and are distinguished by excellent execution, the guests are quite capable of responding with their goal.
The bet is Zenit's victory and both will score. This bet is offered for 4.30
