Обе забьют Да

The Zenit team doesn't perform well in cup matches, but this can be an opportunity for rotation players to prove themselves. However, it doesn't always work out, and today's match against Akhmat could be a tough test. Akhmat is playing well and it won't be easy to beat them. Both teams have their motivations for winning and it's quite likely that they will both score in this match. Zenit may play with a rotated lineup, but they will still be able to create dangerous chances, and Akhmat will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing start in the cup. In the end, a high-scoring game is expected, where both teams will be able to score goals.

H1 (-1.5)

According to the latest results compiled by analysts, Zenit is the favorite in the upcoming match against Akhmat. The team from St. Petersburg is displaying excellent play, as evidenced by their recent match utilizing Malcolm. Meanwhile, Akhmat is facing problems both in their lineup and in their game. Their unsuccessful result in the first round against Krylia Sovetov, where they suffered a defeat, indicates their difficulties and reluctance to strengthen with worthy transfers. Injured players will further weaken the team, which will only increase Zenit's advantage. In light of this, it seems reasonable to bet on Zenit's handicap (-1.5), considering their superiority and good form. The main point is Zenit's successful home games, where they have a high chance of winning. The overall justification for the forecast boils down to summing up all the aforementioned arguments highlighting Zenit's superiority over Akhmat.

H2 (1.5)

In the Russian Cup match between Zenit and Akhmat, an interesting battle is expected. Zenit hasn't been in top form lately, facing difficulties in games against CSKA and Pari NN. Additionally, Zenit has undergone changes in their squad, with Malcolm and Wendel leaving the team. In such a situation, rotation of the lineup is possible. On the other hand, Akhmat is becoming a more serious opponent for Zenit. The team has shown good performances in friendly matches, defeating Rostov, Krasnodar, and Dynamo, as well as scoring five goals against Torpedo. Curiosities in the Russian Cup are not uncommon, and Zenit doesn't always play at full strength in this tournament. Considering the mentioned factors and Zenit's recent lackluster performances, it can be expected that Akhmat will be able to put up a fight and not lose by a large margin. Therefore, my prediction for the Zenit - Akhmat match is: Akhmat with a handicap (+1.5 goals).
