👉 Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

After analysing how the bookmakers have priced this match between Rubin Kazan and Zenit, we see the total going under 2.5 goals.

We don't expect this match to have too many scoring opportunities, so there shouldn't be more than a couple of goals scored overall.

👉 Our prediction is: Zenit win or draw

Even though Zenit will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on Zenit to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.

Zenit does have its share of flaws, but Rubin Kazan has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to Zenit.
