Zenit St. Petersburg - Dinamo Moscow predictions and free betting tips [03/04/2024]

Today the quarterfinal match of the Russian Super League between the St. Petersburg Zenit and the Moscow Dinamo will take place.

Zenit

The St. Petersburg side occupies the fifth place in the league table and is generally in good form. However, in the last meeting, they lost to Moscow's Dinamo 0:3. Before that, they had a streak of seven victories, but their opponents weren't exactly formidable. This season the team has totalled 18 wins and suffered 12 losses. 

Dinamo

The visitors finish the season in fourth position of the Super League standings. The team is unbeaten in their last six games. In previous meetings, they went past the St. Petersburg Zenit 3:0, Yugra-Samotlor 3:0, and Nefteyugansk 3:0. Out of the 30 tournament games, the team boasts of 22 victories against 8 losses. 

Head-to-Head

Since 2023, the teams have faced off seven times, with Dinamo coming out on top in six of those matches (3:0, 3:1, 3:0, 3:0, 3:2, 3:2), and Zenit triumphing only once with the score of 3:0.

Match prediction

The first playoff meeting between the two teams instills some faith in Moscow's Dinamo, although Zenit is currently performing quite well. At this time, I feel the visitors indeed stand a deserving chance to move forward. I don't foresee an entirely one-sided game and the most likely outcome would be a narrow victory for the Muscovites, perhaps in a 3:2 or 3:1 result. For now, I will lean towards a straight-up victory for the visitors at the odds of 1.5.
