Although the new season has just started, Zenit is slowly showing everyone that the title is going to Saint Petersburg this season as well. Zenit has the best team without any doubt, while the foreigners left Russia because of the situation in Ukraine, Zenit, which is a really small legion of foreigners, remained only without Yuri Alberto, who is on loan at Corinthians. But that's why the strong Zenit got stronger, they brought the duo from Sochi, Rodrigao and Casseira, and Bakaev came for free from Spartak Moscow. After an unconvincing first game of the season and only 1-1 with Khimki, Zenit scored 8 goals in the next two games, and the last victim was Lokomotiv Moscow, which conceded 5 goals to Saint Petersburg. It was 0-0 until the 63rd minute when Wendel scored the first goal and then everything went bad for the visitors from Moscow. Zenit has a very strong attack, the Brazilians Malcom and Claudinho dominate those flanks and it is very difficult for other Russian clubs to match this duo. When you add to that a defence dominated by Lovren, a former Liverpool player, and Rodrigao, Zenit has a team that would play against the best teams in Europe. Now he is going to Chechnya, more precisely to Grozny, for a not-so-easy away game. Akhmat started the league well, they have two wins and one draw, and they are a good team, which cultivates a counter-strike style of play. They strengthened well before the start of the season, Agalarov came from UFA for not a small 3.5 million euros, he scored 19 goals last season and it is a quality attack. Coach Talalaev has a good team at his disposal and I think his team will be in the upper part of the Russian championship. But today they are playing against Zenit, and although they have a very good attack, I don't think their defence will be able to withstand the pressure that the Zenit players will exert from the first minute of the match. I don't expect many goals here but in the end, I think Zenit will find a way to outscore the home team and record the third win in a row.

My prediction;

Outcome: Zenit to win

尽管新赛季刚刚开始，泽尼特正慢慢向大家展示，本赛季圣彼得堡仍将获得冠军。泽尼特无疑是最好的球队，虽然外国人因为乌克兰的局势离开了俄罗斯，但泽尼特是一小群外国人，只剩下租借到科林斯的尤里·阿尔贝托。但这就是为什么强大的泽尼特变得更强，他们从索契、罗德里戈和卡塞拉带来了二人组，巴卡耶夫从莫斯科斯巴达克免费来到这里。在本赛季的第一场比赛中，泽尼特与希姆基的比分仅为1-1，令人难以信服，随后两场比赛中泽尼特进了8球，最后一个受害者是莫斯科洛科莫蒂夫，后者向圣彼得堡丢了5球。直到第63分钟，温德尔打进了第一个进球，当时比分是0-0，然后莫斯科客队的一切都很糟糕。泽尼特有一个非常强大的进攻，巴西人马尔科姆和克劳迪尼奥控制着这些侧翼，其他俄罗斯俱乐部很难与这对搭档匹敌。如果再加上前利物浦球员洛夫伦和罗德里戈主导的防守，泽尼特的球队将与欧洲最好的球队交手。现在他要去车臣，更准确地说是去格罗兹尼，参加一场不太容易的客场比赛。阿克马特的联赛开局不错，他们两胜一平，他们是一支优秀的球队，这培养了一种反击式的打法。他们在赛季开始前就加强了，阿加拉洛夫来自乌法队，身价350万欧元，上赛季他进了19球，这是一次高质量的进攻。教练塔拉莱耶夫拥有一支优秀的球队，我认为他的球队将在俄罗斯锦标赛中占据上风。但今天他们要对阵泽尼特，虽然他们的进攻非常好，但我认为他们的防守无法承受泽尼特球员从比赛第一分钟起施加的压力。我不期望在这里有很多进球，但最终，我认为泽尼特会找到击败主队的方法，并取得连续第三场胜利。

预测：泽尼特胜
