LiontipsAkhmat- Zenit: betting tip and bets for the Russian Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Akhmat frankly failed last season and narrowly avoided direct relegation, managing to be stronger than Ural in the play-offs. In the new season, the wolves are not considered obvious outsiders, but the starting line is weak again. In the first round, Akhmat failed to match Rubin and started the championship with a 0-2 defeat on his own field. In the last round, Alexander Storozhuk's team gave battle to CSKA, but lost again – a 1-2 defeat in Moscow dropped the wolves to 14th place in the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kovachev is injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Akhmat has lost the last two matches.
- Akhmat has lost the last six matches to Zenit
Approximate composition: Shelia — Sidorov, Ibishev, Gandri, Bogosavac — Silva, Kelianu — Samorodov, Kasintura, Sadulaev — Konate.
Current form
Zenit did not justify its status as the main favorite of the championship last season and lost the championship title to Krasnodar. Nevertheless, Sergey Semak retained his position and in the current season the St. Petersburg team are again the main contenders for gold. In the first round, Zenit played a difficult match against Rostov and won 2-1 in the second half. In the last match of the championship, the St. Petersburg team stumbled in Kazan, missing a two-goal advantage. A 2-2 draw against Rubin does not allow us to rise above the sixth place in the table yet.
Disqualifications and injuries
Karavaev, Zdelar and Moskvichev were injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Zenit has not lost yet in the new season – a win and a draw
- Zenit has conceded in two matches this season.
Approximate line—up: Kerzhakov — Mantuan, Alip, Nino, Gorshkov - Barrios, Gerson — Luis Enrique, Glushenkov, Mostovoy — Sobolev.

1.69Tip and bets
Zenit will obviously arrive in a lightweight squad today, ahead of the match against CSKA, which is of paramount importance right now, there is still room to catch up in the Cup. Akhmat will definitely try to take advantage of the situation and will obviously take risks – in the last four home matches, the wolves scored against the St. Petersburg team, and the series will surely continue. At the same time, Zenit is not even fully capable of responding, especially since Akhmat is extremely vulnerable on the defensive.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. This bet is offered for 1.79
Betting on the outcome
It is extremely important for Zenit to save their strength for the upcoming match against CSKA, the main contender for the championship title cannot afford to make mistakes in the second round in a row. Rotation will take place and it will certainly be large-scale, which Akhmat will strive to take advantage of. It is quite realistic in such a situation for wolves to cling to points at home and partially rehabilitate themselves for two consecutive defeats in the championship, it makes sense to take a risk under such circumstances.
The bet is an Asian handicap (+1) on Akhmat. This bet is offered for 1.61
Betting on corners
Zenit, even taking into account the possible rotation, is the favorite and will spend a lot of time attacking, but Akhmat will certainly respond regularly on his own field – there should be a lot of corners.
The bet is a total of more than 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.75
