2.05

Tip and bets

2.05total more than three goals

Spartak definitely looks better than all their opponents in the tournament, including Zenit - the red-and-whites are playing boldly ahead, they have already gained good form, they will certainly be as aggressive as possible in attack today and will not give up the initiative. Zenit is vulnerable defensively, the blue-white-blues look especially weak in this component in test matches, and it won't be easy to win back to zero today. At the same time, Zenit has very high-level players ahead of them, and even with just one individual skill, the champion is quite capable of responding.

We believe that the match will be productive. The forecast is a total of more than three goals. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.05

Betting on the outcome

Spartak looks very decent at the Winline Winter RPL Cup and is the only participant in the tournament who won both matches in regular time. At winter tournaments, the red-whites are traditionally very strong and, in general, have already managed to get in good shape, play boldly, and are full of self-confidence. Zenit is still only in the process of preparing for the championship and it is clear to the naked eye that there is still a lot of work to be done – despite the friendly status of the tournament, the duel is extremely principled and Spartak is quite capable of taking advantage of the situation and beating Zenit in regular time.
