Zenit Kazan - Novyi Urengoy predictions and free betting tips [09/04/2024]

On Tuesday there will be a 1/2 playoff match in the Russian Super League between Kazan's Zenit and Novyi Urengoy's Fakel.

Zenit

The Kazan team rightly occupies the top spot in the division, as there are simply no rivals who can compete with them on equal terms. Zenit is in excellent form right now and it's very hard to find a fault in their play. At the moment, the team is on a streak of eleven victories. Their last victims were: Yenisey (3:0, 3:1), Nova 3:0, Yugra-Samotlor 3:0, and Nefteyannik 3:0. In the current season, the team has record of twenty-seven victories with three defeats.

Fakel Novyi Urengo

The guests rank seventh in the league table, but they're showing great performance in the playoff matches. At the previous stage, they knocked out the Novosibirsk's Locomotiv by 2:1 in the series, and earlier Dinamo LO 18:16 in the golden set. The club's Super League performance record consists of sixteen wins and fourteen defeats.

Head-to-Head

Since 2022, the teams have met six times. The record for Kazan's Zenit is simply superb here: six victories out of six, all with a 3:0 score.

Predictions on the match Zenit - Fakel Novyi Urengo

Fakel is putting up a great show in recent matches and the team is clearly in a fighting spirit, but up against them is Kazan's Zenit which has virtually perfected its game. I would suggest a precise score of 3:1 in favour of the hosts or a bet on a handicap2 (+2.5) at 2. I think Fakel, riding high on its adrenaline, may snatch a set from the tournament favourites, but will not emerge as the winner.
