Zenith didn’t slow down. The St. Petersburg club is the only RPL club that won three victories at the start of the season. Sergei Semak's team is the main favorite in the championship race, which was once again confirmed by the previous match against CSKA. “CSKA” resisted as best as they could, but the high class of the players of the “blue-white-blue” and the skill of Serdar Azmun affected the final result. Tambov started the new championship unsuccessfully, having suffered two defeats against Rostov and CSKA. However, in the third round, the “wolves” finally came to their senses and won an important victory over a competitor in the struggle for survival - Khimki. Of course, Zenit has to get these three points. Last season, the St. Petersburg club beat Tambov twice with the same score - 2:1. However, in such a tight schedule, one should hardly expect a defeat. After a tough game against CSKA, Semak will probably give rest to some of their players. Given the depth of the Zenith roster, this is quite realistic. It is worth betting that no more than three goals will be scored in this match.
