Khimki vs Zenit St. Petersburg Prediction and Betting Tips (18.08.2024)

Command Analysis

Khimki

Russian Federation

Current form

Khimki lack stability at the start - in the summer, Frank Artig's team received reinforcements and is quite capable of solving the problem of staying in the Premier League with the current selection of players, but time is needed. For now, the "red-blacks" occupy 11th place in the table and are only one point ahead of the transitional matches zone.

This week, Khimki lost 1:3 to Rostov away in the Cup, suffering their second defeat in a row.

Disqualifications and injuries

Kirill Panchenko and Sergei Terekhov are out of the game for Khimki.

Zenit St. Petersburg

Russian Federation

Current form

Zenit started the season brilliantly – Sergey Semak’s team has not lost a single point in the championship yet. The last round match against Dynamo was important from the point of view of the fight for the title, in which the “blue-white-blues” did not show their best game, but won 1:0, managing to become the sole leaders of the championship.

In the Cup this week, Zenit, with a far from top lineup, beat Rubin 1-0 away, achieving their seventh win in a row this season.

Disqualifications and injuries

Zenit has no problems with its roster.

Interesting trends for betting

Zenit have won all seven matches this season
Zenit have not conceded in their last six matches

Estimated lineup : Latyshonok – Santos, Nino, Erakovic, Karavaev – Pedro, Barrios, Claudino, Wendel, Glushenkov – Cassiera.

Tip and bets

1.91handicap (-1.5) at Zenit

Zenit is in great shape, as evidenced by seven victories in a row - the guests will certainly not stop there. Khimki have looked unimpressive in recent matches and are seriously inferior in class to their opponents - in such a state, the hosts are hardly capable of creating a sensation.

We think that the hosts have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1.5) for Zenit . This bet is offered with odds of 1.91

1.67total over 2.5 goals

Bet on total

Zenit have scored only two goals in their last two matches, but today it makes sense to expect a more productive game from the favorite. Khimki have problems in defense, and they are unlikely to sit at their goal the entire match; at home this season, the red-blacks have scored in all matches – the match may well be productive.

Bet - total over 2.5 goals. This bet is offered with odds of 1.67
