2.99Tip and bets
After their defeat by Krasnodar with a less-than-full-strength lineup, Zenit decisively defeated Akron. Today, they will aim to replicate that success in a highly competitive title race. Meanwhile, Orenburg is left without a head coach and is in terrible form, significantly outclassed by their opponent, making it nearly impossible for them to mount a serious challenge.
We believe the visitors have no chance. Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Zenit, with odds of 1.79.
Bet on Total Goals
Zenit has shown solid performance throughout the season, excluding matches against Spartak and Krasnodar. The team scores frequently and is likely to launch an onslaught against their opponent's goal from the very first whistle. Orenburg, on the other hand, has struggled defensively but will probably take risks and look for scoring opportunities. Recent games suggest that Zenit is also prone to conceding goals due to errors.
Bet Recommendation – both teams to score. This bet is offered at 2.15
Bet on Corners
Zenit is the clear favorite and is expected to dominate the game for all 90 minutes, making them likely to win the corner count comfortably.
Bet Recommendation – Asian Handicap (-3) on corners for Zenit. This bet is offered at 1.69
