Both teams have shown good results in the Russian Cup, winning both meetings. Of course, Zenit look favourites today, but it's unlikely that the teams will play with their full squads in this tournament, especially at the group stage.
So we don't expect many goals today, as Baltika will certainly play from defence, and Zenit don't always manage to score many goals.
Prediction: 2 goals to be scored or fewer. We recommend the “Under 2.5” bet, odds 1.95
