Krasnodar - Zenit predictions

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Krasnodar on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

No outcome of this match would catch us by surprise. It’s a rarely fair matchup, though that’s not always good for betting. Currently, though, Zenit are somewhat more likely to triumph with betting odds of 2.41 on them winning.

Krasnodar’s latest outing at Olimpiyets ended in a narrow 3:4 win. The first half performance was rather mediocre, but they pulled through in the end.

As huge favourites to win their last Premier League match, Zenit were expected to run riot over Baltika. They did end up recording an HT/FT win but the 1:0 result is not many fans expected.

The first step Krasnodar need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

This match might present a rare opportunity to go for an Over 4.5 Goals bet. Zenit have netted 6 goals in each of their previous 3 games – which is quite a track record.

Despite being favourites, Zenit couldn’t manage to secure a victory the last time they played against Krasnodar. This gives the hosts some precedent when it comes to beating the odds, but it’s not a strong case.

With no injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their full rosters available for an exciting showdown.

The best choice for this fixture is quite easy to figure out – an Under 2.5 Goals bet at the odds of 1.75. It’s an almost guaranteed win that’s not too bad in the value department either.
