What to expect
We expect about 0.7 goals from Krylya Sovetov and 1.8 from Zenit, so Zenit come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Krylya Sovetov come into this on two straight wins. Zenit come into this on five straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Zenit to win. Zenit shade this one on the numbers (xG 0.7-1.8), and we make them about 65% to win. They look the better bet on the road, and backing them outright is the straightforward way in.
We put the chance of that landing at about 63 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.55, which works out at about 65 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
Recent results
Zenit have won two of the last five meetings, with two drawn.
