Command Analysis
Zenit St. Petersburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
Zenit, after a very difficult last season, where they had to win the championship title in the last minutes of the last round, seriously strengthened in the summer and clearly expected to perform much more confidently in the new season. At the start of the championship, Sergey Semak's team was by far the best, but in the end, a number of mistakes led to the loss of the first place, and even Spartak joined the championship race.
Zenit also makes plenty of mistakes after the winter break, which is only worth the 1-2 defeat by Spartak in the 21st round, but for now it continues its pursuit of the title. Zenit easily got out of the group in the Cup and did not notice Akhmat in the quarterfinals, but Rostov was supposed to be a much more serious opponent. Nevertheless, in the first match, the blue-white-blues did not win the most basic team 1-0 away and are one step away from the finals.
Zenit continues to chase Krasnodar in the Premier League and faced their main rival at home in the last round. Despite the fact that the St. Petersburg team conceded first, they eventually managed to win 4-1 and get within two points of the bulls. However, Spartak and CSKA are three points behind, so there is a risk in case of an error not only to let Krasnodar go, but also to drop significantly down the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Volkov and Karavaev were injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Zenit has not lost in the last three matches – two wins and a draw.
- Zenit has conceded in the last two matches.
- Zenit has beaten Rostov in the last three matches.
Approximate composition: Adamov — Mimovich, Chistyakov, Alip, Gorshkov — Barrios, Akhmetov, Erokhin — Luis Enrique, Sobolev, Pedro.
FC Rostov
Russian FederationCurrent form
Rostov hardly had the opportunity to set himself the task of competing for a place in the top three, the yellow and blue were significantly inferior to many competitors in terms of player selection, but it was quite realistic to fight for a place in the top half of the table. In the first round, the Rostov team made several serious mistakes, but gradually corrected the situation and moved away from the danger zone even before the winter break.
After the winter break, Rostov changed its mentor and predictably slowed down – at the moment, Jonathan Alba's team is already in eighth place in the table. The Rostov team is 10 points ahead of the transition zone and there is no serious threat of getting involved in the fight for survival. In the last round, Rostov lost 1-2 away to Akhmat, thus suffering his second defeat in a row.
In the Cup, Rostov found itself in the same group with Lokomotiv, Khimki and Orenburg, where it was a clear contender for the second place. As a result, the yellow-blues finished second and in the quarterfinals they faced Spartak, who were sensationally beaten in each of the matches. Against Zenit, who played far from the main squad, Rostov failed at home, but there is a chance for revenge.
Disqualifications and injuries
El-Askalani is injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Rostov has suffered four defeats in the last five matches.
- In five of the last six away matches, Rostov scored against Zenit
- Rostov scored in two of the last three matches.
Approximate composition: Yatimov — Sutormin, Sako, Osipenko, Vakhania — Komarov, Shantali, Kuchaev — Ronaldo, Komlichenko, Golenkov.

Rostov lost minimally to Zenit in the first match, without taking advantage of the chance, the opponent played far from the most optimal composition. Today, the Rostov team has nothing much to lose, and for sure the guests will go forward with great strength, with goals scored, including at the Gazprom Arena, the yellow-blue team has no problems, Zenit gave a lot of strength in the match against Krasnodar and there is a chance to take advantage of this. At the same time, the blue-white-blues are capable of responding with any composition at home, an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.90
Betting on the outcome
Zenit played a difficult match against Krasnodar a few days ago and will certainly be forced to use rotation today. However, at the same time, the depth of the squad is sufficient for the hosts to be able to get the desired result and make it to the finals, the bet is clearly on the trophy. Rostov has recently lost its form, having suffered four defeats in the last five matches, it is unlikely that the guests have a real chance to create a sensation in St. Petersburg, it makes sense to give preference to the hosts.
The bet is Zenit's victory. This bet is offered for 1.69
Combined bid
Zenit is definitely the favorite of the match – the hosts have a solid advantage in the class, even despite possible changes ahead of the meeting with Khimki in the championship. It is unlikely that the blue-white-blues will hold the advantage, but they will certainly strive to develop it at home. Zenit is quite capable of winning, Rostov has not been impressive lately, but at the same time it is unlikely that they will be able to beat Rostov in the second match in a row, the guests have their trump cards ahead.
The bet is Zenit's victory and both will score. This bet is offered for 3.50
