I thought Krasnodar are able to be amongst top5 teams this season but after watching their last game it seems they are not ready for this step forward.

Zenit are champions and continues to be very confident at the start of the new season, winning last time out on the road vs Rostov with a 4:2 result. Quality performances, in-booth games, a team from St.Petersburg remains the most serious candidate to win Premier League once again. Attacking midfielder Malcom is still with the Brazilian Olympic team. Midfielder Ozdoev (1/0) is injured, while central defender Rakitskiy (2/0) got injured in the previous round and is doubtful for this game.

After winning their first game in the season, Krasnodar suffered defeat at home against Khimki, but their performance was decent enough for a draw at least.

They missed a great chance to take the lead in the 15th minute when Claesson was inaccurate from 11m - penalty, and the punishment came in the second half when visitors scored. Attacker Wanderson didn't play in the season yet and remains out, while the guests should also miss defender Martynovich and right-back Petrov (2/0).

In the end, we all expect Zenit to lift the trophy once again in Russia. They did it in last 3 seasons and they look like Bayern in their division in prime. Looking on all other rivals - CSKA, Spartak and Lokomotiva, there is no doubt which team is the most experienced and best quality. Today's game should prove statements, so Zenit is my first choice for Saturday day. Stay tuned, we gonna have 2 more bets.

我认为克拉斯诺达尔本赛季能够跻身前五，但在看了他们的最后一场比赛后，他们似乎还没有准备好向前迈出这一步。

泽尼特是冠军，在新赛季开始时仍然非常自信，上次在客场以4:2击败罗斯托夫。高质量的表现，在场外的比赛，一支来自圣彼得堡的球队仍然是再次赢得英超冠军的最重要的候选人。攻击型中场马尔科姆仍然留在巴西奥运代表队。中场球员奥兹多耶夫(1/0)受伤，中卫拉基茨基(2/0)在上一轮比赛中受伤，能否上场尚不确定。

在赢得本赛季第一场比赛后，克拉斯诺达尔在主场输给了希姆基，但他们的表现还算不错，至少可以打一场平局。

他们在第15分钟错失了一个取得领先的大好机会，当时克雷森在11米罚中失误，下半场客队进球。前锋旺德森本赛季还没有上场，并且仍然缺席，而客人们也应该会想念后卫马丁诺维奇和右后卫佩特罗夫(2胜0负)。

最后，我们都希望泽尼特能在俄罗斯再次举起奖杯。他们在过去的3个赛季做到了，他们看起来就像拜仁在他们的级别在黄金时期。看看其他所有的对手——中央陆军，斯巴达克和火车头，毫无疑问哪支球队经验最丰富，质量最好。今天的比赛应该证明了这一点，所以泽尼特是我周六比赛的第一选择。
