Fakel vs Zenit St. Petersburg Prediction and Betting Tips (08.03.2025)

Command Analysis

Fakel

Russian Federation

Current form

By the start of the season, Fakel was a clear candidate for relegation from the Premier League - the blue and white were inferior to many competitors in terms of player selection, but they had already proved more than once that even with a very modest selection of performers, they could surprise. However, so far the season has been extremely difficult for Dmitry Pyatibratov's team – only 15th place in the table after 19 rounds. At the same time, there is a modest three-point gap from the transition zone, which still leaves chances for salvation. After losing 0-1 to Khimki in the last round, Fakel suffered its ninth defeat of the season.

Zenit St. Petersburg

Russian Federation

Current form

Zenit was approaching the start of the season as the main contender for the championship title – Sergey Semak's team strengthened in the summer and significantly outperformed all competitors in the selection of players. The blue-white-blues started powerfully and immediately took off, but they couldn't even hold the first round steady – Krasnodar first caught up and then beat them in the table. At the moment, Zenit is in second place and three points behind the leader Krasnodar, who has already played his match in the 20th round, due to additional indicators, Spartak is behind.

Disqualifications and injuries

Volkov, Vasiliev and Karavaev are injured.

Interesting betting trends

Zenit has not won in the last three matches – two defeats and a draw.

Tip and bets

1.85head start (-1) for Zenit

Zenit lost points again in the first match after the winter break - Krasnodar also made a mistake, but at the same time Spartak got close to the leaders. In such a situation, Zenit no longer has the right to lose points, especially against the penultimate team of the championship. Fakel looked weak before the winter break, and played a nondescript match against Khimki. In such a state, it would be almost impossible to give a motivated Zenit a fight, the guests have a huge advantage in class and are able to confidently take three points.

We believe that the favorite will not make a mistake. The betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1) for Zenit. This bet is offered with odds of 1.85

2.29Both will score

Bet on the total

Zenit is the undisputed favorite of the match and will only bet on victory today – for sure, from the very first minutes, the guests will be aggressive in attack and the Torch has almost no chance to win back reliably. However, at the same time, the blue-white-blues are far from perfect in defense, the blue-whites will certainly take risks on their own field, the tournament position obliges them to fight for points in every match, and the Torch is quite capable of responding with one ball at home.

The bet is that both will score. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.29

Betting on corners

Zenit is the favorite and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the visitors should win confidently from the corners.

The bet is an Asian handicap (-2) on corners at the Zenith. This bet is offered for 1.89
