Zenit is fighting for the title and is in a very tough competition - there is no room for error in such a situation. Orenburg cannot recover and is losing match after match, the last place in the table and the results indicate that the crisis has not yet been overcome. Zenit is motivated, has a huge advantage in class, it should not be difficult for the guests to achieve a confident victory.
We think that the hosts have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Zenit . This bet is offered with odds of 2.29
Bet on total
Zenit will certainly be determined today and will not be satisfied with any result other than victory. Despite a number of personnel losses, the guests will clearly be aggressive from the first minutes and Orenburg not very reliable defense will have minimal chances to play reliably. However, the hosts have nothing to lose, they will most likely also take risks today and are quite capable of responding with one goal.
Bet - total over three goals. This bet is offered for 1.99
Bet on corners
Zenit are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the visitors should win confidently on corners.
