Command Analysis

Zenit St. Petersburg

Current form
Zenit was the main contender for the championship title before the start of the season and had a very bright start, but then slowed down. Back in the first round, Sergey Semak's team missed Krasnodar ahead and is now forced to catch up, but the distance is not significant. In the last round, the blue-white-blues took their chance and beat the bulls 4-1 in the face-to-face meeting, reducing the gap to two points. At the same time, Spartak pulled ahead due to additional indicators, but the red and white have already played their match in the 25th round.
Disqualifications and injuries
Karavaev and Volkov are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Zenit has not lost in the last four matches – three wins and a draw.
- Zenit has conceded in two of the last three matches.
Approximate line—up: Latyshonok — Mantuan, Erakovich, Nino, Santos — Barrios, Wendell — Luis Enrique, Glushenkov, Mostovoy - Gondu.

Khimki

Current form
Khimki were among the potential candidates for relegation before the start of the season, but they were not the main outsiders, having managed to strengthen well in the summer. There were enough mistakes in the first half of the championship, but the red-blacks found the strength in themselves not to get stuck at the bottom of the table. Khimki currently occupy the 12th place in the table with 23 points in the asset and, due to additional indicators, break away from the zone of transitional matches. After losing 1-3 to Krylia Sovetov in the last round, Frank Artiga was dismissed and Magomed Adiev was appointed in his place. During the week, a number of sources reported information that the team was refusing to train due to salary arrears, but the conflict had apparently been settled for a while and it made sense to wait for the main squad today.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bakaev was disqualified. The Moon is injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Khimki have lost their last two matches
- Khimki have lost to Zenit in their last seven away matches.
Approximate line—up: Kokarev — Fernandez, Dzhikiya, Filin, Origno — Mejia, Vera — Berkovsky, Corredera, Rudenko - Zabolotny.

4.15Tip and bets
After Spartak Krasnodar's victory in the 25th round, Zenit found itself on the third line and is again five points behind the bulls, but today there is a chance to bring the handicap back to two points. Obviously, the blue-white-blues will be maximally motivated and charged to win, the opponent is seriously inferior in class and there are obvious problems within the club, the guests may have difficulties with motivation. Under such circumstances, it makes no sense to question Zenit's ability to secure a landslide victory; Khimki is unlikely to be capable of sensationalism right now.
We believe that the guests have no chance. The betting tip is an Asian handicap (-2.5) for Zenit. Such a bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.15
Bet on the total
Zenit, without any doubt, will strive to solve everything confidently today and not bring it to a nervous end, for sure, in the first half, the hosts will go forward with great strength. It is unlikely that Khimki has a real chance to play reliably in St. Petersburg, the red-blacks have missed a lot in recent matches, and besides, they could not fully prepare for today's match. It makes sense to count on a scoring extravaganza in such a match, and Khimki know how to play as the second number, and despite a number of failures, they regularly score.
The bet is a total of more than three goals. This bet is offered for 1.69
Betting on corners
Zenit is the favorite and will clearly dominate from the first minute to the final whistle – the hosts should win by a large margin from the corners.
The bet is an Asian handicap (-5) on corners at the Zenith. This bet is offered for 1.71
