CSKA vs Zenit: Betting Tip and bets with odds of 5.10
CSKA and Zenit will meet on September 14 in the central match of the eighth round of the Russian Premier League. In the last three matches with the St. Petersburg club in the championship, the "army men" remained undefeated, but how realistic will it be for them to cling to points today? In the betting tip, we examined in detail in what form the teams are approaching the face-to-face meeting and chose the most reliable bets. What will be the outcome?
Command Analysis
CSKA Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
CSKA hardly had the opportunity to set the most ambitious goals for the season – there was no opportunity to conduct a serious transfer campaign, and pinpoint reinforcements are unlikely to seriously affect the final position of the capital club. The management placed their bets on Marko Nikolic, who knows how to work with young players, of whom there are plenty in the team.
CSKA" target="_blank">https://www.pfc-cska.com/">CSKA has been playing quite well in the opening period, despite a number of mistakes. The Army team is currently in fifth place in the table with 13 points and is only four points behind the leader Zenit. Krasnodar, Lokomotiv and Spartak have the opportunity to catch up and overtake them in the upcoming round, but to do so they need to play a strong game.
After a slight slump in mid-August, where CSKA lost two matches in a row in the championship to Krasnodar (1:2) and Lokomotiv (0:1), they managed to pick up the pace in the last rounds. After a 4:0 victory over Akron at home, CSKA left Khimki no chance in the last match of the championship, beating the Red-Blacks 2:0. The victory was the fourth of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
CSKA has no problems with its roster.
Interesting trends for betting
- In the last three matches of the championship, CSKA did not lose to Zenit - two wins and a draw
- CSKA has won two of its three home matches in the championship

Zenit St. Petersburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
Zenit started the new season with a victory in the Russian Super Cup over Krasnodar, where they won 4:2 and looked head and shoulders above their opponents. In this match, the blue-white-blues demonstrated their excellent readiness for the start of the championship and their advantage in class over their main competitors, which they then confirmed in the first rounds of the Premier League.
Zenit" target="_blank">https://www.fc-zenit.ru/">Zenit started the championship with four wins in a row, where they scored goals in batches against their opponents, but at the same time did not concede and practically did not allow their opponents to create anything. Along the way, Sergei Semak's team won two more victories in the Russian Cup - the winning streak in all tournaments was interrupted at the seven-match mark, and the St. Petersburg team unexpectedly lost points in a match with Khimki (1:1).
Zenit did not play the match with Spartak very confidently, drawing a goalless draw at home, but spent more than half an hour in the minority, so overall the result can be called satisfactory. After losing to Akron in the penalty shootout in the Cup, Zenit broke its losing streak in the match with Pari NN, very easily beating the Nizhny Novgorod team with a score of 3:0 - the victory allowed them to return to the first line.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rodrigao, Sergei Volkov and Maxim Glushenkov are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Zenit have not lost in regulation time in all tournaments this season – eight wins and three draws
- Zenit failed to score in only one of 11 matches this season
- Zenit have conceded in two of their last three away matches
Estimated lineup : Latyshonok - Karavaev, Erakovic, Nino, Douglas - Claudino, Barrios, Wendel - Sobolev, Cassierra, Gondu.

1.35Tip and bets
Zenit played a few poor matches in August, but came to their senses by thrashing Paris NN in the last round. The blue-white-blues have adapted to scoring without the help of Maxim Glushenkov, especially since two attacking players have joined the team in the last few weeks. The St. Petersburg team is significantly superior in class to the army team, there are plenty of options to strengthen the game with substitutions, and there will also be plenty of motivation – it makes sense to give preference to the guests.
We think that the hosts have no chance. Betting Tip - victory of "Zenith" . Such a bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.35
Bet on total
Zenit will certainly play to win, there is a risk of losing the lead again, which the St. Petersburg team does not want to allow. The visitors have a wide choice in attack, the team is in excellent shape and will certainly put serious pressure on the opponent's goal in the first half. CSKA is unlikely to be able to play to zero, but at the same time, no one in the Premier League has scored more than the Army Men on their home field this season, an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
Bet - both teams to score. This outcome is offered with odds of 1.95
Combined rate
CSKA is significantly inferior to Zenit in terms of player selection, and the visitors also have a serious advantage in terms of the quality and size of the reserve, and the “blue-white-blues” are undoubtedly the favorites of the upcoming meeting. They are quite capable of justifying this status, but it will hardly be possible to beat CSKA without scoring, the main weapon of the “army men” is counterattacks and there are no problems with implementation.
The bet is Zenit win and both teams will score. This bet is offered for 5.10
