Zenit - CSKA Moskva predictions

Zenit are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. CSKA Moskva may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

The matchup this Saturday is rather one-sided, with CSKA Moskva seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 4.88, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Zenit fans are not too happy about their blunder from the previous round. Despite a lead and generally favourable betting odds, they let victory slip through their fingers in the second half. An away win would have been very welcome in the current stage of their Premier League campaign.

CSKA Moskva are coming on the back of a rather disappointing HT/FT draw in their most recent home game. They had a lot going for them before kick-off, with both favourable betting odds and home-field advantage. Unfortunately for them, the game ended up being one long standstill.

CSKA Moskva fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 8 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

With several tied games behind them, the teams will be looking to switch things up to get the upper hand. Several matches between Zenit and CSKA Moskva ended in a draw this season alone, so it’s clear they’ll need to get creative – especially the hosts.

This Saturday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

Though a Home Win bet is the best offer in terms of value, the outcome is far from guaranteed. Though there’s a moderate risk involved, the 1.81 odds offered at 1xbet are worth it.
