Game Totals Prediction

Khimki gathered many experienced players in the summer, but they have not yet become a cohesive team, so the club is performing inconsistently. Zenit started the season in amazing shape, the team beats one opponent after another, demonstrating a determined attitude in the club's centenary, adding trophies to the museum. Semak's guys will win the upcoming match, the "Zenit" will not notice the "red-blacks" even on the road, the clubs are at different levels, at the moment: Zenit's victory with a handicap - 1.53.
