Zenit - Rostov predictions

Rostov will have little to hope for against Zenit. The home charges are bursting with confidence and it would take a small miracle for the away team to take anything from this game.

The current perspective makes the situation plain as day. Given the superiority of Zenit and the 11.37 odds given to Rostov to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a stunning upset.

It’s hard to argue against the effectiveness of Zenit on their home turf. They curtly earned three points against Akhmat Grozny in the last round by maintaining a lead throughout the match. The 1.20 made them huge favourites and that’s exactly how the world’s best bookies online see them this time as well.

The visiting team earned a single point the last time they played away. This draw was way above what most predictions expected of them, though, especially after they fell behind in the early game. Most bookies offered a price of 3.10 for them to win, which was even further compounded by the home-field disadvantage.

Sunday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

And Under 2.5 Goals bet may not be the obvious choice, but that may be exactly what makes it good. The Pncl sportsbook is pricing this fixture at 2.30, which offers substantial betting value. It’s not without risks, of course, but it’s statistically an excellent choice.
