In the betting tip, we analyzed in detail the form in which the teams approach the face-to-face meeting and selected the most reliable bids. What choice should I make?
Command Analysis
Zenit St. Petersburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
Zenit was approaching the start of the season as the main contender for the championship title – Sergey Semak's team was definitely the strongest in the championship in terms of player selection, but they also managed to strengthen in the summer. The blue-white-blues held the starting segment very powerfully and immediately got into the lead, taking advantage of the mistakes of the competitors, who frankly skidded at the start.
However, it was not possible to spend the first part of the season smoothly, and Zenit not only lost its leadership, but also allowed a group of competitors to approach it. For the winter break, St. Petersburg left second in the table with 39 points, lagging behind the leader Krasnodar only due to additional indicators, but Spartak is two points below, four points less than Dynamo and Lokomotiv.
In February, Zenit took part in the Winline Winter RPL Cup, where it was initially considered a clear favorite. The blue-white-blues started in the group with a very difficult 2-2 draw against CSKA, then turned out to be stronger in the penalty shootout, and in the second round they beat Rostov 2-1 without any problems. In the final match, Zenit defeated Spartak 3-0, managing to win the tournament.
Zenit has made several very serious transfers this winter – the main acquisition is undoubtedly Brazilian national team player Luis Enrique, who was bought out by Botafogo. It is also worth noting the purchase of Sasha Zdelar from CSKA.

Wendell is disqualified. Volkov, Karavaev and Vasiliev were injured.

CSKA Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
For objective reasons, CSKA did not have the opportunity to set the most ambitious goals in the championship – the Army team was inferior to many competitors in terms of player selection. However, at the same time, Marko Nikolic probably had the task of competing for the third place, several acquisitions were made, in general, with luck and the absence of a large number of injuries, such a goal seemed quite achievable.
However, CSKA did not spend the starting segment, and the first round as a whole, in the best way and gained form for a long time, allowing the competitors to break away, but at the same time it did not frankly fail. At the moment, the army team occupies the sixth place in the table with 31 points in the asset and is six points behind the third Spartak - it will be almost impossible to compete for bronze, given that Lokomotiv and Dynamo are still higher in the table.
In the winter, CSKA was also very passive in the transfer market, strengthened only by Brazilian Allerrando from Bragantino, but there is a very significant loss – Sasha Zdelar moved to Zenit. In February, the Army team also took part in the RPL Winter Winline Cup, where they beat Rostov 1-0 and drew 2-2 with Zenit, then lost in a penalty shootout. In the match for the third place, CSKA lost 1-2 to Krasnodar.

- In the last three matches of the championship, CSKA scored only one victory.

2.85Tip and bets
Zenit is certainly the favorite of the match – the St. Petersburg team has a huge advantage in the class, the blue-white-blues looked more than worthy at the Winline winter RPL Cup and outperformed all their opponents by an order of magnitude. The championship race is expected to be extremely fierce, with a whole group of competitors competing for the title, and Zenit does not have the opportunity to lose points in home matches in such a situation. CSKA is inferior in terms of player selection, and the army team is hardly capable of such a feat in St. Petersburg in its current state.
We believe that the guests have no chance. The betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1) for Zenit. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.05
Bet on the total
Zenit, without any doubt, will be as determined as possible today – any mistake in such a competitive environment can be fatal. Obviously, from the first minutes, the hosts will be as aggressive as possible in front and CSKA has frankly little chance of winning back in such a situation, the opponent has a serious advantage in class. At the same time, the army team will probably look for their moments on the counterattack, Zenit is far from perfect in defense, and the goal of the guests will not be a big surprise.
The bet is that both will score. This bet is offered for 1.95
Combined bid
Zenit is fighting a desperate battle for the championship title, in which it remains the favorite, but the competition is off the charts. It is obvious that the hosts will only play to win today and, in general, the St. Petersburg team is quite capable of getting three points – CSKA is significantly inferior in terms of player selection, and the champion has already managed to gain decent form. At the same time, it will be problematic to beat the army dry, CSKA knows how to play second number and is highly effective, the guests are quite capable of responding.
The bet is Zenit's victory and both will score. This bet is offered for 3.55
