Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Spartak vs Zenit

Spartak

The Moscow club shows very modest results, the team digs itself in with every game. In the Russian Premier League standings, Guillermo Abascal's boys dropped to 9th place, while the gap from the leader is only 9 points. It is worth noting that in the National Cup the “red-whites” manage to maintain a good pace, moving confidently through the tournament bracket. In the return match of the quarterfinals, the “gladiators” confidently defeated Orenburg at home 3:1. Sobolev, Zinkovsky and Babich scored a goal each for the Muscovites.

The leader of the scoring race in the cup is Sobolev, who has 4 accurate hits.

Zenit

Zenit did not immediately pick up a good pace, Sergei Semak had to work hard to improve the club’s play. Now the “blue-white-sky blues” are acting reliably again; after 20 rounds of the Premier League, the club is on the first step in the standings, having earned 40 points. In the Russian Cup, the “anti-aircraft gunners” are also confidently moving towards the goal; in the return match of the quarterfinals, the club beat Dynamo 2:0 at home. The main star of Zenit turned out to be Cassier, who chalked it up to his own account. The leader of the goalscoring race in the blue-white-blue cup is Sergeev, with 5 goals to his name.

During the international break, Zenit played a friendly match against Crvena Zvezda, losing 0:1.

Game Totals Prediction

Spartak cannot stabilize its game and results; the team rarely loses points at home, but is unstable on the road. Zenit, due to its personnel potential, evenly distributes its forces to all its tournaments, and does it well. In head-to-head meetings, Semak has been performing successfully in recent years, but in the upcoming game I think that the “people's team” will confirm its home status and will not give in: Spartak will not lose – handicap 1 (0) – 2.34.
