Current form
The St. Petersburg club performed at its best during the main VTB United League tournament, taking first place. The team has earned the status of one of the main contenders for the championship with its game.
In the first series of the playoffs, Zenit passed Parma without any problems, which took only three matches. Javi Pascual's team approached the semifinals in a good mood, but faced real resistance. Lokomotiv Kuban did not think to give up without a fight, so we saw seven spectacular matches.

The home arena and the support of the stands should help Zenit perform well. The team felt comfortable in the last head-to-head matches against the Moscow opponent and is ready to continue this statistic. We assume that the hosts will show class in the first match.
CSKA beat its rivals in one go, but a real test awaits it in the final. Zenit is clearly stronger than the previous opponents, especially since the first game of the series will be held away, so there is a high probability that the guests will face difficulties.
Our betting tip is Zenit's victory, taking into account overtime in 1.81
Bet on the total
We assume that it will take time for the teams to swing. No one is ready to concede, so most likely we will see a defensive game. In this case, the total total is unlikely to be exceeded.

Betting on statistics
So far, CSKA has confidently passed its rivals, but now the Moscow team's attack will have to face Zenit's defense, and even on the road, which complicates the situation. In our opinion, the guests will not show themselves properly under the opponent's ring, so the individual total will not be exceeded.
Betting Tip – CSKA's individual total is less than 83 points in 1.81
