Command Analysis

Zenit St. Petersburg

Russian Federation

Zenit are having a strong season and are on their way to the next title - Sergei Semak's team is the leader of the League and there is no one who really can dethrone Zenit. The leader is six points ahead of Lokomotiv, who are second - such a handicap, in theory, can be still lost, but that is an extremely unlikely scenario.

The previous game of Zenit was against Krasnodar, and it ended in a 2:2 draw, breaking Zenit's streak of four victories in a row.

FC Rotor Volgograd

Russian Federation

Rotor are in almost the opposite position: they are having a difficult season, and right now they are on the second-last line in the table. Khasanbi Bidzhiev's team still has chances of staying out of the relegation zone, because only two points separate it from the 14th place taken by Ufa. But even such a small gap is quite hard to close. It all comes down to the team's form.

Rotor were beaten by Dynamo (0:3) in the previous game, and that defeat became the fifth in a row for Rotor. At such level of performance, it is hard to believe in Rotor's future in the Premier League.

Tip and bets

1.65Handicap (-2) to Zenit

Zenit had a very difficult game against Krasnodar in the last round, and barely got one point. They didn't show their best performance, and allowed Lokomotiv to come a little bit closer, cutting the distance between them to six points. Obviously, before going against their main competitor, Zenit will strive to get three points, and Rotor in their current form will hardly be able to stop them. We believe that the guests have no chance.

Forecast - Asian handicap (-2) to Zenit.

1.63Total over 3 goals

Rotor concede a lot and we doubt that the new manager was able to fix the problem in just one week. Zenit have a powerful attack and will certainly create a lot of problems for the opponent. At home Zenit usually score, they are high motivated, and it makes sense to expect goals.

Our second bet will be total over 3 goals.
