Zenit has not yet guaranteed itself anything in the group – there is a modest gap of two points from third-placed Akron, and Rubin is only one point away.

Bet on total

After a difficult match against CSKA, Zenit will probably not do without rotation, but the hosts have a very high-quality and wide reserve, there is a large choice in attack, the St. Petersburg team is unlikely to become weaker today and Rubin's defense will have plenty of problems, the Kazan team concede a lot and regularly. At the same time, the visitors will also take risks, it should not be difficult for them to score one goal.

Bet - total over three goals. This bet is offered for 2.09
