Prediction for the match bezeen CSKA and Zenit which will take place on May 2. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

CSKA

For the second year in a row, CSKA did not have the best first part of the season. Last season, they rectified many things after the winter break, when they won the FONBET Russian Cup and became vice-champions in the Premier League. The Red-Blues will not be able to repeat the same result in the league, as they are playing mediocre in the spring. In the last eight rounds, they got only two wins, beating Krylya Sovetov and Fakel - 2:0 and 4:1, respectively, four more times played in a draw, while losing to Akhmat - 1:2, and last weekend to Baltika - 1-3. Now, they are only eighth in the standings, but in the cup tournament, they have already reached the final of the RPL road.

Zenit

Zenit makes every effort to ensure that the intrigue in the fight for the championship in the current season remains until the very end. They have won the last five Premier League draws and have done so in advance, but now there are problems with solving this task. The team was in the catch-up position for a long time, but then they improved, overtook Krasnodar in the fight for first place, and won the face-to-face battle with the Bulls 2:1, increasing the gap to four points. Except that in the last two rounds, the Neva team suddenly lost to Rubin and Dynamo - 0:2 and 0:1, respectively, but even these failures have not dropped Zenit from the first line of the standings.

Expert Betting Tips

CSKA and Zenit are approaching the FONBET Cup of Russia RPL final in poor form. The home team has virtually stopped winning in the spring, and in the last three rounds of the Premier League, they have picked up just one point from a possible nine, snatching a draw in the derby with Spartak. The guests lost their previous two games, which almost caused them to lose their lead in the standings. All of this makes their head-to-head encounter even more intriguing, but the favorites are the Blue and White, who have a deeper squad, which is especially important in such a tight schedule.
