Command Analysis

Zenit St. Petersburg

Current form
Zenit approached the start of the season as the main favorite to win the championship, but is still having difficulties. At the moment, Sergei Semak team is in second place in the table with 30 points and is three points behind the leader Krasnodar, Lokomotiv and Dynamo are seriously pressing from below, and Spartak and CSKA can still get close. In the last round, Zenit drew 1:1 at home with Lokomotiv, losing valuable points and allowing the "bulls" to break away in the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kerzhakov and Volkov are injured.

- Zenit have not lost at home in the championship this season – four wins and two draws
- Zenit have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four matches
Estimated line-up : Latyshonok - Karavaev, Erakovic, Nino, Douglas Santos - Barrios, Wendel, Claudino - Gondu, Cassierra, Mostovoy.

FK Makhachkala

Current form
Before the start of the championship, Dynamo was considered one of the main candidates for relegation from the Premier League, inferior in terms of player selection to many competitors. However, so far, Hasan Bidzhiev team looks quite decent and avoids falling into the transitional matches zone, occupying 11th place in the table with 12 points. Dynamo is only one point ahead of 12-placed Khimki, so there is a risk of worsening the situation today. In the last round, Dynamo drew 1:1 with Akron.
Disqualifications and injuries
Paltsev is disqualified. Sandrachuk and Tabidze are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Dynamo have not won in their last nine matches – three defeats and six draws

After losing points in the match with Lokomotiv, Zenit will certainly be motivated and will try with all its might to rehabilitate itself for this failure, and the tournament position obliges them to maintain concentration. Dynamo is seriously inferior in class and has not been particularly impressive in its play lately, it is unlikely that the hosts will have problems with a confident victory, in such a state the Dynamo players are hardly capable of putting up a fight.
