Spartak Moscow vs Zenit Prediction & Betting Tips (3 April)

Spartak Moscow boast an impressive recent home record at the top table of the Russian Cup, securing 12 victories in 15 attempts, one of which was a success against these opponents back this year. Speaking of Zenit, they have struggled massively on the road of late, returning with zero points from 11 of their last 16 trips in the Russian Cup.

Including the last few games, 19 of the previous 20 Spartak Moscow home games in the league have served up three goals or fewer, so the outfit have proven pretty consistent on this particular front. As for Zenit, they have been involved in 18 away matches on the bounce at this level of the under 3.5 goals variety, so a repeat performance is on the cards.

When Zenit come calling in the Russian Cup, excitement tends to be in short supply, with at least one of the two teams pitching a shutout in 13 of their previous 18 away games. It has been a similar story as far as Spartak Moscow are concerned on their own patch of late, with both teams on target in just two of their last nine matches at this level, so something similar seems likely.
