LiontipsBaltika - Zenit: betting tip (cf 1.82) and bets on the Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Baltika failed to win in the last two rounds, although the calendar in this segment was not the most difficult. At first, the Kaliningrad team was defeated at home by a declining Locomotive (0:1). This was followed by an away match against Fakel, where with great difficulty they managed to get a draw (2:2), equalizing the score in the very end from the penalty spot. If Talalev's team achieved all its successes last season due to reliable defense, now there are problems with this: nine goals conceded in eight rounds played.
In the standings, Baltika is in seventh place with 11 points. At the same time, Kaliningrad scored only four points in their home matches, and this is only the 11th figure in the RPL.
Disqualifications and injuries
Filin will not play due to injury, Anderson has too many yellow cards.
Interesting betting trends
- In three consecutive matches, Baltika has not won in the first half.
- In seven of the last eight matches, Baltic players fouled more often than their opponents.
Approximate composition: Latyshonok – Beveev, Gassama, Muyokolo, Varatynov, Civich – Mendel, Murid, M. Petrov, Pospelov – Gil.
Current form
Zenit has not shown stable performance throughout the season, and the results are clearly not what they could have expected, given the strong selection of performers. In the last five rounds alone, the blue-white-Blues have suffered two defeats, both from direct competitors for prizes: Spartak (0:2) and CSKA (1:2). In the last round, Sergey Semak's team won a difficult home victory over Lokomotiv (2:1). We lost 0-1 after the first half, but we played the second 45 minutes confidently, scoring two goals. This time, Andrade and Luis Enrique had their say, scoring one goal apiece.
Zenit is in fifth place in the table with 15 points. Sergey Semak's team is just one point behind the three closest competitors, and five points behind the leading Krasnodar.
Disqualifications and injuries
Wendell will miss the match due to injury, and Mantua's return to the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In six of Zenit's last eight matches, fewer than three offsides were recorded.
- In three of Zenit's previous five matches, there was no goal exchange.
The approximate line-up: Adamov – Mantuan, Diveev, Nino, Vega – Barrios, Karpoukas – Luis Enrique, Glushenkov, John John – Sobolev.

Tip and bets
Zenit does not demonstrate a bright game, but avoids an outright decline, at least achieving victories over rivals who are inferior in class. Baltic, in comparison with last season, has noticeably reduced the reliability of defense, and it is not possible to achieve success through attacking on a regular basis, since this is not the strong side of Talalaev's tactics. On their own field, the Kaliningrad team has achieved only one victory since the beginning of the season in the RPL.
Even last season, when Baltika performed much better, Zenit managed to win twice in face-to-face meetings. This season, the rivals played against each other in the framework of the Russian Cup, and then the blue-white-blues won. We expect that Sergey Semak's team will score three points today due to the individual skill of their leaders, which they have done more than once during the season.
Our betting tip is for Zenit to win by a factor of 1.82
Bet on the total
It's hardly worth waiting for a bright and productive game. The Baltic States habitually relies on defense. Zenit, under the leadership of Sergey Semak, has a pragmatic approach. In the previous four face-to-face meetings, no more than two goals were scored. We expect that this time the opponents will not be pleased with the abundance of goals scored.
The second bet is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.67
Betting on corners
Zenit does not stand out for high angular performance. In five of the previous seven blue-white-blue matches, no more than nine innings were played from the corner flag. Based on this trend, we recommend another bet.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is less than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.75
