After the first 4 rounds, Zenit has 2 wins and 2 draws, and the St. Petersburg club got all the victories at home (and very comfortable ones, thrashing Lokomotiv 5:0 and Krylya Sovetov 3:0), including the Super Cup, which took place in St. Petersburg.
CSKA started the season well - 3 wins 1 and a draw. However, we should immediately pay attention to home and away matches: the draw was just on the road with Nizhny Novgorod, which is not a top club.
Zenit has a huge advantage over CSKA in head-to-head meetings - 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 10 matches. We believe Zenith will win again at home.
Our prediction: Zenit to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 1.59
