The teams have had very different results in their first fixtures after the championship has resumed. Zenit has won both matches while Tambov has suffered two defeats. Sergey Semak`s crew has held an outstanding game against CSKA Moscow after which, Viktor Goncharenko has been forced to resign. Meanwhile, Tambov could have scored some points against Ufa and Ural but had been rather unlucky. Zenit is admittedly the favourite of the upcoming match. The guests have very slim chances of getting points from the Blue-White-Sky Blues. Next match Zenit is set to face Krasnodar. Such a tight schedule will undoubtedly cripple the team`s capacity. As such, the guests will try to get the job done in this match steadily and without extra effort. Most likely two goals will be enough for Zenit to win and bet with the handicap (-1.5) on the guests seems like a smart choice.
