Tip and bets

1.85handicap (-2) at Zenit

Zenit is currently holding the first line in the table, but there is no serious gap from the competitors, any mistake can result in the loss of the first line. It is obvious that the hosts will have enough motivation and today they will strive only for victory. Fakel is seriously inferior in class, can not find its game and in this state will hardly be able to give a serious fight to the favorite.

We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-2) for Zenit . This bet is offered with odds of 1.85

1.81total over three goals

Bet on total

Zenit will certainly play first number and will probably go on the attack with large forces from the first minutes. It is obvious that Fakel has a minimum chance of playing to zero, the Blue-Whites are extremely vulnerable in defense and not long ago conceded three goals in the Cup in St. Petersburg. It makes sense to count on a large number of goals in such a match, the hosts are unlikely to limit themselves to a minimal victory.

Bet - total over three goals. This bet is offered for 1.81
