CSKA vs Zenit St. Petersburg: prediction for the Russian Premier League game
CSKA lost the last four head-to-head games, but can the Army men break this streak and defeat Zenit at home on November 28? Our answer is in the prediction below.

Command Analysis

CSKA Moscow

CSKA are struggling this season. Aleksei Berezutski's men clearly hoped to secure a spot in the Top-4 by now, but they are only 6th in the standings with 24 points from 15 games. They retain a chance to get European football, but this will be a difficult task: the 2nd Dynamo are already five points away.
The Army men have been disappointing of late. In the last three games they earned only one point. CSKA lost to Rubin (0:1) and Sochi (1:4), and then recorded a goalless draw with Khimki.

Zenit St. Petersburg

Zenit St. Petersburg are top of the league after the 15 rounds. The reigning champions of Russia haven't really made any big mistakes so far, and they have a comfortable handicap of four points against the closest pursuer, Dynamo. The 3rd Sochi are five points behind.
Sergei Semak's charges crushed Nizhny Novgorod (5:1) at home, thus extending their unbeaten streak to four games. Earlier this week, Zenit drew with Malmo in the Champions League (1:1). They are 3rd in Group H and have practically secured a ticket to the Europa League.

Tip and bets
CSKA looked poor in their latest outings, and we are not convinced they can put up a fight against Zenit in such form. Zenit might be tired after the Champions league game, but they should defeat this CSKA.
Our prediction - Zenit to win
In the last six encounters, CSKA lost to Zenit five times and got a draw once. Zenit are capable of extending this streak, but we don't think they will be able to devastate the opponents.
Second wager - Zenit to win by 1 goal
