Tambov - Zenit betting tips and odds

To call the upcoming match difficult for Tambov would be a major understatement. They are going up against impossible odds. With a home win priced at 29.00 with major online bookmakers, this is a completely one-sided game.

We are expecting a complete wash for the home team. Zenit are far ahead of them in terms of form – and with a price like 1.12 on an away win, it’s hard to expect any different outcome.

Although Tambov are coming on the back of a harsh 3:1 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Akhmat Grozny , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Zenit’s previous away game against Ufa was one protracted stalemate. Neither side managed to pull ahead throughout the match, resulting in a 0:0 draw. Ufa are happier with this result, though, because they were slight underdogs at kick-off.

With 10 concessions over the last 3 matches, Tambov will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from Zenit in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

As far as the head-to-head stats are concerned, Zenit already confirmed their status as favourites. They defeated the away team previously in the season, leaving little doubt as to which squad is in better form.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 1 odds are great value.
