In the upcoming match between "Krylia Sovetov" and "Zenit", the favorite appears to be the St. Petersburg team. "Zenit" successfully played in the Super Cup, defeating "Krasnodar", and signed new players, which could help them strengthen. Whereas "Krylia Sovetov" have faced losses in their squad and have not reinforced themselves in the transfer market yet. Although the Samara team can boast of a successful previous season, they still need reinforcement. The form and motivation of both teams are different, making a triumph for "Zenit" likely in this game. Therefore, the prediction for the match "Krylia Sovetov" - "Zenit" is a win for "Zenit".
In the match between Krylya Sovetov and Zenit, a high-scoring game is expected. Krylya Sovetov have been playing attacking football at home and have been scoring an average of 3.13 goals, while Zenit is also an attacking team. Zenit's new player, Glushenkov, has already shown his skills in the Super Cup match. Both teams are geared up for a strong start to the season, indicating a high attacking potential. Considering these facts, I predict a total of over 2.5 goals in this match.
Today in the Russian Premier League, "Krylia Sovetov" will face "Zenit". Both teams have shown high scoring capabilities in pre-season matches. Krylia have been scoring and conceding goals, while Zenit have not always been able to keep a clean sheet. Krylia Sovetov scored four goals against Zenit last season. The hosts have the advantage of playing at home, where they have been strong. Zenit, despite being the champions, have had issues in defense. Both teams play an attacking style of football, and historically matches between them have often ended with goals from both sides. I expect an open game from Zenit, and I believe that both teams will score. My prediction is both teams to score - yes.
In the upcoming match between "Krylia Sovetov" and "Zenit" in the Russian Premier League, "Zenit" has a greater chance of winning. This is due to their advantage in terms of gameplay, as demonstrated in a recent match for the Russian Super Cup. "Zenit" looked confident and showed a high level of play, as indicated by their only defeat in a friendly match out of four. Additionally, the club already has a victory in the country's super cup, which boosted the morale of the players and added confidence to them. The "Zenit" lineup is also impressive, and their attacking game is productive. Meanwhile, "Krylia Sovetov" have shown inconsistency in scoring in their recent matches. Taking the above into consideration, the probability of "Zenit" winning with a noticeable lead of two goals looks quite high in the upcoming clash.
