LiontipsZenit - Spartak: betting tip (cf 2.75) and bets on the Russian Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Zenit won six of the seven official matches after the winter break. The result undoubtedly deserves respect, but in many meetings it was possible to win by a thin margin, there was no margin of safety. The only misfire in this segment happened away from Orenburg - a 1:2 defeat in the RPL.
Zenit is chasing Krasnodar in the Premier League, only one point behind. The Petersburgers have a game with bulls ahead of them this weekend, which may become a key one in the fight for gold awards. In the last round of the championship, a 2-1 home victory was scored over Krylia Sovetov, where two goals were scored only after the break. It should be noted that Zenit has won 11 out of 12 matches in the RPL on its own field and has not suffered a single defeat.
In the Russian Cup, at the start of the playoffs, Zenit lost to Dynamo Moscow (1:3 and 1:0) along the Way of the RPL and moved to the Path of the regions. Here we managed to overcome the resistance of Baltika and Makhachkala Dynamo with the same score of 1-0 with not the most convincing game. So, the goal against the Makhachkala team was scored from a very controversial penalty kick.

The approximate composition: Latyshonok — Karavaev, Nino, Alip, Gorshkov — Barrios, Mikhailov — Luis Enrique, Kondakov, Mostovoy — Sobolev.
Current form
The change of coach seems to have benefited Spartak. Under the leadership of HC Carlos Carcedo, the Muscovites have already played seven official matches, in which they scored five victories. It is characteristic that the team is noticeably improving in terms of the organization of the game, there have been only victories in the last three matches, with only one goal conceded. There is the very stability that has not been there for a long time.
In the Premier League, Spartak is in sixth place after 23 rounds, but has a good chance of finishing in the top three. The gap from the closing top-3 Locomotive is only three points. It was with the railroad workers that Carcedo's wards played the last match, in which they achieved a strong-willed victory.:1. In that meeting, the removal from the opponent in the 72nd minute also helped, after which Solari scored the winning goal. The only defeat for the red-whites in the RPL after the winter break was from Zenit in St. Petersburg with a score of 0:2, and the Petersburgers scored their goals only from the penalty spot.
Obviously, it will not be possible to compete for the championship in the championship, obviously the Cup is important for Spartak now. It is no coincidence that in the previous round, Carcedo fielded the main squad in two matches against Dynamo Moscow as part of the RPL Path. However, it was not possible to pass the blue and white: they lost 2-5 on the road, and won a minimal 1-0 victory at their stadium.

Tip and bets
Three weeks ago, Zenit beat their upcoming opponent 2-0 in the Premier League. At the same time, it cannot be said that the game was a one-goal game, the Petersburgers scored both goals only from the penalty spot. Over the past time, Spartak has noticeably improved, primarily in terms of the reliability of the defensive game, won three matches in a row, conceded only one goal. Carcedo is clearly betting on the Cup, putting up the main squad, since there is no chance of competing for gold awards in the RPL. Zenit has a battle with Krasnodar in the championship ahead of them this weekend, and the fight for first place is in full swing. Sergey Semak will have to come up with something in terms of squad rotation, most likely, the game with the bulls will still be a priority. Plus, despite recent victories, there are a lot of questions about the level of play of St. Petersburg residents, too often they win by a thin margin, somewhere not without a bit of luck. We believe that Spartak will be able to get at least a draw in regular time today.
Our betting tip is that Spartak will not lose by a factor of 2.00
Bet on the total
When betting on goals, let's pay attention to the solid attacking potential of the opponents. Zenit scored in all the matches played after the winter break. Spartak failed to hit only the goal of St. Petersburg in a recent game in the RPL, but there were moments in that meeting. We expect an exchange of goals to take place today.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.85
Combined bid
Given our expectations of an equal and productive game, it is logical to look at the option of a combined bet with a high coefficient that the guests will not lose during regular time and more than one goal will be scored in the match. Moreover, such a bet was played in two of the three previous face-to-face meetings.
The betting tip is that Spartak will not lose and the total is more than 1.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.75
