This is perhaps the most predictable playoff game in terms of the victor. Gazprom-Ugra is in a terrible state, and it's unclear how they plan to compete against Zenit in this encounter. The only intrigue here is whether the guests will be able to take even one set. I would consider the handicap1 (-2.5) for 1.91, but only with a small percentage of the bankroll, as Zenit is likely to approach this match casually and won't exert too much effort.
