Command Analysis

FC Krasnodar

Russian Federation

Krasnodar has failed in this season. They are currently in 10th place, with no chances of returning to the fight for European cups. Due to unsatisfying results, the manager Damir Musaev was sacked and replaced by Viktor Goncharenko. Under his command, the team had only played one game, which they lost to Arsenal Tula (0:1).

Zenit St. Petersburg

Russian Federation

Zenitis 7 points ahead of their closes opponent, Spartak Moscow, with only five matches to go. It is hard to see any reason that could stop the team from Saint Petersburg from getting the gold. Sergei Semak's team is on a four-win streak, with the latest victory against Sochi (2:1).

Tip and bets

1.91Total under 1.5 in 2nd half

Since the new manager, Krasnodar switched from a more attacking formation to a strong defensive play. The hosts will not risk changing their strategy in the game against Zenit. The main forward of Krasnodar, Marcus Berg, is disqualified. We don't see any reason why there could be many goals in the second half. We think that Zenit will get a comfortable lead in the first half, and then play to keep the score.

Our prediction -total under 1.5 in the second half at 1.91.
