FK Rostov vs Zenit tips and predictions

FK Rostov price could be too big for Premier League clash

Most people think there's only one winner but that is fake news. Zenit are too short to for this preview.

The hosts start the match with 2 home wins from their last 4. Yes - it will be a big shock to see FK Rostov upset the odds but they might just be capable of pulling a rabbit out of the hat here.

FK Rostov should expect extended periods of play without possession. If the hosts can somehow change the destiny of the match, it will have a lot to do with their growing goal count. The home players are finding some form at their own ground. They scored at least once in 3 of their recent 4 home matches and the rest of the squad has also been on point. In their current run they have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 4 home games.

Zenit have sometimes lost their shape away from home. They've conceded at least once in 7 of their last 8 away matches. To double-down on these concerns, shots on goal are conspicuous by their absence. In front of goal, the visitors have seemed hesitant. They've been goalless in 6 of their last 17 away matches.

If you're reading this you've probably seen the recent attacking success of the hosts in some of their latest outings. If they are to somehow pull this off, it is essential that they build on those performances.

Zenit will be keen to further justify their short price with a clean sheet at full-time. It's not a strong view so it isn't one to get stuck into but the No BTTS bet seems like it will be the best play from that market.
