Despite their defeat against Anzhi last weekend, Zenit are still league leaders and favourites to beat Krasnodar on Sunday. While online sportsbook sites in Russia argue that the St. Petersburg club is the clear favourite to win the Russian Premier League this season, the Bulls have also started their year very well. With their great defence, they could be a real threat to the home side in St. Petersburg.

Zenit are the favourites to win the league

The Lions have a really important Europa League match to play on Thursday against Slavia Praha, and this means they’ll only have 2 days to rest before their game against Krasnodar. However, online sportsbook sites in Russia claim that Zenit are the favourites to win on Sunday. Some are quite confident to say that the St. Petersburg club is going to win the Russian Premier League this season: the odds are only 1.23 on them to finish 1st at 1xBet Sportsbook.

The Krasnodar defenders are in spectacular form

Krasnodar have started their season very well, they’ve won their last 4 games. Their defensive statistics are incredible: they haven’t conceded a goal in their last 5 matches.  At 1xBet Sportsbook they are now the second most likely club to win the Russian Premier League this season, however, the odds on them to finish 1st are as high as 9.00. Last year Krasnodar finished 4th, but in case their defence stays rock solid, they have a great chance for a successful season.

Betting preview on Zenit v Krasnodar: the tired home side could break under the pressure

At 1xBet Sportsbook, Zenit are clearly the favourites to win the game, the odds are 1.94 on them. However, the home team will play on Thursday, and if the players show up tired, Krasnodar will have a great chance to ruin their day. To conclude our betting preview on Zenit v Krasnodar, the away side has a good chance for a draw (3.38), or even for a win (4.24) in St. Petersburg, despite the high odds on them.
