Zenit is the best club in Russia in the last 10 years and more. The team from Sankt Peterburg is still league leader but Spartak Moscow is getting close. Zenit has one point more than Spartak and a game less. Zenit is also by far the best home team in the league with a 10-1-1 record and fantastic goal difference of 39-12. Their best player and Russia captain Dzyba is having a fantastic season and he will be the main threat to Khimki's goalkeeper. Zenit likes to play open football at home and they basically unbeatable in Sankt Peterburg. This is a very important game for them and I think they will get a win here. Khimki is having a fantastic second part of the season, they are 5 points behind Europa League and their last defeat in the league was in November at home against Zenit. They are a very balanced team strong both at defence and attack and I think they are not coming to defend. This will be an open game, so over 2.5 goals is a good bet but I choose to back Zenit as they are very strong at home and they need to win this in order to stay in 1st position. Zenit is in my opinion strongest team in the league and they should win this game by 2 or more goals margin.

My prediction: Zenit to win (-1.5 Asian handicap)

泽尼特（Zenit）是过去10年来俄罗斯最好的俱乐部。来自圣彼得堡的车队仍然是联赛的领头羊，但莫斯科的斯巴达克（Spartak Moscow）正在靠近。泽尼特比斯巴达克高1分，少赛了一场比赛。泽尼特以10胜1平1负的战绩和39-12的净胜球，成为了俄超主场最好的球队。他们最好的球员和俄罗斯队长兹巴（Dzyba）表现出色，他将成为莫希姆基门将的主要威胁。泽尼特（Zenit）喜欢在主场踢得开放，他们在圣彼得堡（Sankt Peterburg）基本上无人能挡。对他们来说，这是一场非常重要的比赛，我认为他们会在这里赢得胜利。莫希姆基本赛季表现出色，落后欧战区五分，而他们在联赛中的最后一次失利是在十一月主场对阵泽尼特。他们是一支非常均衡的球队，在防守和进攻两方面都很强大，我认为这场比赛他们不会仅仅依靠防守。这将是一场开放比赛，因此进球数超过2.5是一个不错的选择，但我选择支持泽尼特，因为他们在主场很强，需要赢得比赛才能保持第一的位置。泽尼特是联盟中最强的球队，他们应该能以2个或更多进球的优势赢得这场比赛。

预测：泽尼特让球胜
