Orenburg and Zenit are two attacking sides who have what it takes to make this an entertaining and eventful match.

That's why we highly recommend taking the bet of over 2.5 goals. The bet wins if there are 3 or more goals scored in the match, and if there are 2 goals or fewer, the bet loses.

👉 Our prediction is: Orenburg win or draw

Our top betting tip is Orenburg to win or draw on the Double Chance market. What that means is Orenburg, the home team, must win or draw for the bet to win, and we feel strongly that the match will end in one of those two outcomes.

We simply don't see Orenburg losing to Zenit. More than the gulf in quality between the two sides which is clear to see in the statistics, we also have a lot of belief in Orenburg's ability to make home advantage count in this match.
