Zenit is clearly on the move right now. The team recently confidently coped with CSKA, and removed other rivals from its path quite easily. It is likely that the team from St. Petersburg will be able to succeed, because they do it too often on their site.
As for Kazan, their winning streak has gone on too long. Zenit looks like the kind of opponent that can stop them. In this regard, we suggest betting on Javier Pascual's wards.
Our forecast is Zenit with a handicap of (-2.5) points in 1.75
