Zenit - Rubin Kazan' predictions

With the odds set at 1.36 for a home win, Zenit winning is clearly the most likely outcome in this matchup. Bigger upsets have happened, of course, but we wouldn’t expect anything but a decisive home win.

The current perspective makes the situation crystal clear. Given the superiority of Zenit and the 10.50 odds given to Rubin Kazan' to win, it is evident that anything but a home win would be an incredible shock.

Zenit played against Orenburg in their previous Premier League home game, and it went about as you would expect. They secured a home win as the hard favourites after taking an early lead, which was more or less what most betting predictions foresaw.

The visiting team previously recorded a 1:1 tie with Lokomotiv Moskva in a recent home game. Although the game was essentially one long stalemate, things turned out alright for Rubin Kazan'. After all, they were the hard underdogs in that particular matchup despite the home-field advantage.

The crowd at Saint-Petersburg Stadium can’t be unhappy with their offensive abilities – they scored 7 times over their latest three home games.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Rubin Kazan''s backline has much to be wished for

Zenit played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Wednesday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

Wednesday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

A Home Win bet is the obvious answer here, especially at the odds of 1.36. While the returns won’t be as great, the bet is as safe as they come.
