LiontipsRubin - Zenit: Premier League match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Rubin managed to keep the squad, Rashid Rakhimov is still at the helm. We can say that everything is stable and reliable for Kazan, as long as they go without defeats. There were two wins and a draw in the friendly matches. The opening match of the first round on the road against Akhmat was completed in his favor with a score of 2:0. Rubin did not show anything new: the same counterattacking game with the second number. So, with the Grozny team, we had possession of the ball for only 34% of the playing time, we scored three shots on target, two of which turned out to be accurate. How successful will this tactic be today? It's hard to judge unequivocally, especially considering that Kazan lost to Zenit in four previous head-to-head matches and did not score a single goal.
Disqualifications and injuries
The appearance of the Daku team leader on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Rubin has won his last seven Premier League matches on his own field.
- In seven of the eight previous home matches in the RPL, Rubin did not concede more than one goal.
Approximate composition: Staver — Gritsaenko, Vuyachich, Teslenko — Kabutov, Khoja, Ivu, Yukich, Rozhkov — Chumich, Shabankhadzhai.
Current form
Zenit failed to win the league title last season, and they also failed to achieve success in the Cup. Now Sergey Semak is under a lot of pressure, as only maximum results in all tournaments are expected from a team with huge financial resources. The first game in the championship against Rostov turned out to be ambiguous (2:1). In fact, the St. Petersburg team started playing only in the second half, when Gerson appeared on the field and took over the functions of a packer. As a result, we managed to score two goals and take three points, but so far the team game is not visible, a lot depends on the individual skill of individual players. It should be noted that Wende returned to the club's camp and was included in the application for the second round.
Disqualifications and injuries
Karavaev, Zdelar and Moskvichev will be absent today due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Zenit has not lost away in six of the previous seven league matches.
- The St. Petersburg team did not concede more than one goal in eight of the last nine away matches in the Russian Premier League.
Approximate line—up: Latyshonok - Mantuan, Erakovich, Nino, Santos — Barrios, Gerson — Luis Enrique, Glushenkov, Pedro — Casserra.

7.20Tip and bets
Zenit had some problems defeating Rostov in the first round. There is a more difficult test of strength ahead – a trip to Kazan, where you will have to crack the intense and well-organized defense of Rashid Rakhimov's team. Only due to individual skill, it may be possible to score, but it is unlikely that you will be able to win confidently, with a margin. At the same time, Rubin is far from dangerous in attack, in the previous four face-to-face matches he could not hit the gates of St. Petersburg even once. We believe that we shouldn't expect a very productive game today, most likely, one or two goals will decide the outcome of the match.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals for a coefficient of 1.96
Betting on the outcome
Due to his teamwork and reliable defensive actions, Rubin can count on points in a home match. Still, as the match with Rostov showed, Sergei Semak's players are still far from their optimal game.
The second bet is Rubin's victory with an Asian handicap (+1) with a coefficient of 1.79
Betting on corners
Rubin gives the ball to his opponents and plays second on the counterattack. With this tactic, you don't have to expect a lot of corners from Kazan. In the last seven face-to-face matches against Zenit, Kazan did not play more than three corners. Accordingly, another promising bet suggests itself.
The betting tip is an individual total of Ruby corners less than 3.5 with a coefficient of 1.80
