What to expect
We expect about 2.0 goals from Zenit and 0.5 from Akhmat Grozny, so Zenit come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.6 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
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 are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.0-0.5), and we make them about 79% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
We put the chance of that landing at about 77 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.35, which works out at about 74 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.
