Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Zenit vs CSKA

Zenit

Zenit spent last season at a good pace, which allowed the club to increase its advantage over all competitors. True, the Petersburgers underestimated the importance of the National Cup for themselves, which is why the team flew out of the tournament in the 1/16 finals. The guys of Sergei Semak made the right conclusions after this failure, so the team gave their best in the championship, winning another RPL gold. Now the Blue-White-Blues have 10 victories in the top championships.

In preparation for the season, Zenit took part in three friendly matches, in the last of them drawing with Fenerbahce 0:0.

CSKA

CSKA spent last season unstable, the team was pretty feverish at times. Nevertheless, Vladimir Fedotov's guys got together by the end, still managing to get to the second stage in the Premier League. In the Cup of Russia, the Red-Blues were no longer equal, the team won the trophy, beating Krasnodar 2:1 in the final after a penalty shoot-out. The Cup was the first trophy for the "soldiers" in the last 10 years. CSKA is also preparing for the restart of the season, Muscovites already have three tovarnyaks.

In the last meeting, the Red-Blues overdid it with tactics, which led to a defeat from Dynamo Moscow with a score of 3:6.

Game Totals Prediction

Zenit habitually sets itself ambitious goals, the team intends to win all the titles. CSKA also wants to replenish the collection of trophies, but still the personnel potential of Muscovites is inferior to rivals. Considering the statistics of face-to-face meetings of the teams, the personnel composition and the level of performers, I think Semak's guys will win another trophy. Petrograders have no equal in the domestic arena: the victory of Zenit - 1.83.
