Kemerovo - Zenit St. Petersburg predictions and free betting tips [15/04/2024]

On Monday a Russian Super League match for 5-8 places will take place, featuring Kemerovo's Kuzbass and St. Petersburg's Zenit.

Kuzbass

At the moment, the Kemerovo side is in sixth place in the league table, but their form raises many questions. Kuzbass is currently lagging 0:2 in matches and doesn't seem to be putting up a fierce fight for victory. So far this season, the club boasts seventeen victories against thirteen losses.

Zenit

The visitors are league-table neighbours with Kuzbass, but recently they've been displaying an impressive level of play. In the first encounter, they clinched a 3:0 victory without giving Kuzbass any chances, and mustered a 3:1 win in the second match. Their previous stage concluded with a loss against Moscow's Dynamo, but it was a very tight game. From 30 tournament matchups, Zenit has secured eighteen victories, suffering twelve losses.

Head-to-Head

Since 2023, the teams have played five matches between them, with "Zenit" prevailing in three (3:1, 3:0, 3:2), and "Kuzbass" claiming victory twice (3:2, 3:1).

Match prediction 

Just a couple of months ago, the betting odds for this game would have been 1.85 and 1.85, but times change, and currently, the visitors are huge favourites. Zenit has noticeably improved, while Kuzbass has significantly declined. I believe that, even playing away, the St. Petersburg side can clinch a victory with a set handicap (-1.5) for 1.50.
