Zenit
The end of 2020 turned out to be very difficult for the Petersburgers, but not a failure. Of the eight matches they won only two (2-0 against CSKA and 4-1 Nizhny Novgorod in the RPL), but 5 matches ended in a draw, including two meetings in the Champions League (1-1 with Malmö and 3-3 with Chelsea) and a battle with a rival for the championship in the domestic championship (1-1 with Dynamo Moscow). The season in the RPL will resume in a week, and the situation there is as follows: the Semak team is in the lead, ahead of Dynamo by two points, and the rest are 7 or more points behind. In the winter off-season, St. Petersburg added two defenders and two forwards, including Yuri Alberto from Internacional for Є25 million. In control fights, Zenit scored 4 wins, and two more fights ended in a draw.
In the playoffs of the Europa League, Semak's team got from the Champions League, finishing 3rd in group "H" with five points.
Zenith has nothing to lose, it needs to go forward, it needs to score, it needs to win, so the spectators are waiting for open and spectacular football. Given the high performance and strength of the Pellegrini team, there is no doubt that they will score. At the same time, she is not without sin in defense, so the St. Petersburg team will have chances to score, and they will definitely use at least one. Here the best option for betting would be “both teams to score” for 1.69, but you can try bets with a higher odds: “both teams to score + Total Over (2.5)” for 2.0 or “1X + Total Over (2.5)” for 2.5 . The "Green-Whites" gained a crazy move, so they should not lose, which means you can safely take "Betis with Handicap (0)" for 1.55.
