Zenit - Rostov predictions

Zenit are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.35, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

Rostov stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 10.20 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

The home team easily won their most recent Premier League bout with a convincing goal difference, which is what most betting predictions expected of them. Still, a 0:4 result in an away game speaks well for their form, as does the fact that they were already ahead at halftime.

Rostov are here on the back of a decisive 1:3 away win against Krylya Sovetov. While they were generally seen as the stronger team going in, they outperformed all expectations with a lead in the first half and considerable goal difference at the end.

Zenit are on a bit of a streak when it comes to scoring. With more than 8 over their last 3 matches, fans are feeling fairly confident in their goal-scoring ability. Likewise, bookmakers online are fairly confident the Saturday match will yield Over 4.5 goals.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.85, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
