Rostov – Zenit, Premier League Predictions

5 of the last 7 matches of Rostov have under 2.5 goals

✔️ Rostov are determined to enter Europe this season

Rostov have already made some transfers, although they have not spent that much money this summer, but they will still have that opportunity. However, it is important to take into account the sale of one of the main players, Mirzov, who was bought by Spartak Moscow for 4 million euros. Rostov had a good last season and were close to the places giving the right to participate in European tournaments, so now this is the main goal of the team.

🏆 Champions want to keep their title

Zenit’s project is long-term and this can be seen from their transfers. After becoming champions last season by 15 points, now Zenit want to dominate again and win the title. In the meantime, they took their matches for the cup and beat Loko Moscow for the Super Cup. Zenit have not lost in an official match on December 10 in the Champions League against Benfica. Then there are 24 games without a loss, including friendly matches.

First serious test for Zenit

 Expert view: Zenit also had a match with one of the newcomers this week, but this is the real test for the champion. Lovren is expected to start. He arrived from Liverpool for about 11 million pounds shortly after lifting the Premier League title in England with the Reds. Zenit wants to improve their defense and most likely will. Rostov are also good in defense and considering that this is only the second round, we think that this will most likely be one of those tactically closed matches in which someone will most likely win 1-0 or we will see a draw. Prediction – Under 2.5 goals at 1.95.
