Zenit’s 2:2 draw in the previous round may seem like a mediocre result at best, but the path to it wasn’t easy. They were losing at half-time as a visiting team against considerably stronger opponents - Krasnodar , and it took a lot of effort to equalize after that point.

Rotor Volgograd’s previous Premier League home match against Dinamo Moskva was heavily skewed against them, with most online bookmakers pricing a home win at 7.00. They surprisingly held on to a draw until half-time, but it all came to a head in the later stages of the game. The final result was a painful 0:3 defeat.

With 6 goals in their previous 3 Premier League matches, Zenit’s attacking players have been seeing a lot of success and top bookmakers online are backing them to continue the trend.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for Rotor Volgograd lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

Zenit are currently the top dogs in the Premier League, but there’s still time to change that and they need to be careful. Still, the season’s end is getting closer and the match against Rotor Volgograd is a good chance to solidify their position even further.

The season is already in its latter stages, which is increasingly a problem for Rotor Volgograd They’re still in the relegation zone and the upcoming showdown is not exactly favourable to earn the 0 points they’ll need.

The two teams already met this season in the Premier League, with Zenit taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.
