The new old champion of Russia is certainly known, since it is likely, if not 100%, that Zenit will be the champion of the Russian league. Although every year it is said that CSKA or Spartak will break the dominance of the team from Saint Petersburg, it will not happen this season either. Zenit is playing very well, it has the best team without a doubt and while other teams were left by foreigners, Zenit was left this season only without Yuri Alberto, who went on loan to Corinthians. Although they may not play so well away from home, Zenit has no mercy in their stadium and in 6 games they have a goal difference of 23-2, almost 4 goals per match?! In the last match in the cup, Zenit defeated Kryla Sovetov 2-1 and coach Semak fielded almost the strongest team. Since Russian clubs do not play in European competitions, I expect the same team against the guests from Sochi, because there is nothing to rest their best players. Sochi won in St. Petersburg the last time they visited, and the Zenit players certainly didn't forget that because hardly anyone wins there, so they will surely be motivated to win and take revenge. Sochi could not have chosen a worse moment for this difficult away game because they are in a decline in form, especially the results they record on away games are worrying. Also, Sochi will play today without Sergey Terekhov, a very important player in defense, while Georgi Melkadze is a doubt. The guests have as many as 4 defeats in the last 5 matches and I think that at the moment they simply cannot oppose Zenit, especially not at the Gazprom Arena. Zenit has been playing very well lately, today they should come out with the strongest team, so a win should not be out of the question. Handicap -2.5 is a bit too high for me, Sochi is not that bad a team, so I will decide for -1.5 because I think Zenit will win today 2-0 or 3-1.

俄罗斯的新老冠军当然是众所周知的，因为泽尼特很可能会成为俄罗斯联赛的冠军，如果不是100%的话。尽管每年都有人说中央陆军或斯巴达克将打破来自圣彼得堡的球队的统治地位，但这也不会在本赛季发生。泽尼特踢得非常好，毫无疑问，它拥有最好的球队，当其他球队都被外援离开时，泽尼特本赛季只剩下尤里·阿尔贝托，他被租借到科林蒂安。尽管泽尼特在客场可能踢得不太好，但他们在球场上毫不留情，6场比赛他们的净胜球是23-2，几乎是场均4球?!在杯赛的最后一场比赛中，泽尼特2-1击败了克里拉·索维托夫，主教练斯迈克派出了几乎是最强的球队。由于俄罗斯俱乐部不参加欧洲比赛，我希望同一支球队对阵来自索契的客人，因为没有什么可以让他们最好的球员休息。索契上次访问圣彼得堡时赢得了胜利，泽尼特的球员当然没有忘记这一点，因为几乎没有人在那里获胜，所以他们肯定会有获胜的动力，并进行报复。索契为这场艰难的客场比赛选择了最糟糕的时刻，因为他们的状态正在下降，特别是他们在客场比赛中取得的成绩令人担忧。此外，索契今天的比赛将没有谢尔盖·捷列霍夫，他是一名非常重要的防守球员，而格奥尔基·梅尔卡泽则是一个疑问。客队在过去的5场比赛中已经输了4场，我认为目前他们根本无法对抗泽尼特，尤其是在Gazprom球场。泽尼特最近踢得很好，今天他们应该是最强的球队，所以赢球应该不是不可能的。-2.5对我来说有点太高了，索契不是那么糟糕的球队，所以我决定-1.5，因为我认为泽尼特今天会以2-0或3-1获胜。
