Tambov vs Zenit tips and predictions

Zenit are again tough to beat

It's 16th placed Tambov versus first placed Zenit in this Premier League clash as the visitors look to build on the 49 points between the sides.

Zenit are heavily fancied here and they should get the job done. The short price won't appeal to everyone but there are signs of value here.

Tambov have been volatile. They've lost 17 of their last 18 matches. To add to their concerns, goals are conspicuous by their absence. They've netted just 8 goals in their latest 19 games which far from exceptional. They conceded two or more goals in 10 of their last 11 games. This will almost certainly be exposed.

Zenit are frequently showing what they can do. The visitors might be unstoppable on the day and that short price could end up looking like a gift. They've scored 3.1 goals on average over their last 8 games as you'd expect from a side of this calibre.

If you're questioning the above, the Both Teams To Score Yes is the smart play as the hosts can grab a consolation effort.

The head-to-head shows that Zenit have won all of the last 4 games between the sides.
