Tip and bets
We believe that the visiting team has a very slight advantage here. They performed greatly in the last few games, and are in a very comfortable position in the domestic championship, so there is nothing to worry about in this weekend's gaame. The hosts have experienced a shallow downturn recently and are missing some of their key players. While no one expects victory from Zenit, we think they have quite a good chance to score points in Turin.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (+1) to Zenit
The Old Lady haven't tied in a very long time. The last draw of Zenit also was way back in August. We predict that these series will end today.
