Zenit - Slavia 04.10. Free soccer tips
Free soccer tips
"Blue-white-blue” barely took away the legs with "Copenhagen” (1: 1), although before that they scoffed at their opponents in qualifying. Before the weekend, St. Petersburgers were confidently leading the Premier League, but the defeat against Anji (1: 2) in Kaspiysk turned out to be completely unexpected and superfluous.
"Patchwork" is not as simple as it might seem during the draw. The Prague team intends to fight for the exit from the group, which he demonstrated with Bordeaux (1: 0). The Czechs lost to Baniko (1: 2) in the domestic championship, which is also equal to a sensation.

The guests will obviously arrive at a huge stadium not a number to serve, especially as the hosts have already lost points in European competition. There is a psychological decline in the Russians, which their competitor may well use.
I would risk betting on the double chance of "Slavia” in the BC 1xStand for 2.16.
In the current Europa League, Zenit has already played five games, but none of them are blue-white-blue and failed to play at zero. Is Slavia able to extend the unsuccessful series of hosts? The answer is in our forecast.

ZENITH
Zenit fought his way through to the group stage of the Europa League, although after the 0: 4 defeat in Minsk from Dynamo, it seemed that the St. Petersburg club's song was already sung in this tournament. Nevertheless, the team of Sergei Semak showed character and ended up in a group where he had already played one match. The Russians will definitely be able to take advantage of the away match with Copenhagen as an asset - a 1: 1 draw in Denmark can be considered a completely satisfactory result.
In the Premier League, Zenit started very well - after nine rounds the club leads the table and overtakes the second Krasnodar by two points. In the last game, "blue-white-blue” suffered the first defeat of the season - "Anji” in its field gave a cool match and won 2: 1, leaving indignant to their fans. Semak philosophically reacted to the defeat, saying that the team must learn from this failure a valuable lesson.

SLAVIA PRAGUE
Slavia started the summer in the Champions League qualification, but failed. In the confrontation with Dynamo Kyiv, the team of Jindřich Trpishovsky showed quite a decent game, but in the first fight he clearly didn’t have enough luck, and in the second the referee was clearly not on the side of the Czechs, after which the team mentor broke out with angry comments to the UEFA, from which managed to disown the Czech Football Federation.
In the first round of the Europa League, the "red-whites” took home French Bordeaux. The match turned out for the hosts - they had an advantage in all respects and deservedly won thanks to a goal by Jaromir Zmral in the 35th minute of the match. At the moment, Slavia is the leader of the group and is clearly not going to say goodbye to this status.

Forecast
"Zenit” can be called a favorite of the meeting - the Semak team plays at home, it is equipped with high-quality football players, in the end, it knows how to produce results in the absence of a high-quality game. However, there is one "but” - "blue-white-blue” is not strong enough in defense, having failed to play zero in any match of the current Europa League. "Slavia” will be able to beat the hosts, but it will be very difficult for them to play zero - the Czechs love and know how to attack.
In our opinion, the match will be productive. Forecast - both score. In the Betting League, such a bet can be placed with a odds of 1.85

Recent games have shown that the "blue-white-blue” faced with certain gaming problems. If you do not take into account the cup match against "Volgar” (4: 0), then confident victories from the wards of Sergei Semak have not been since August.
Will it be easy in the game with "Slavia"? You can not even count on it. The Czech team plays very tenaciously, its defense is able to act reliably, as Bordeaux has already been able to ascertain.

Considering the general state of Zenit, which is far from ideal, it seems to us that it makes sense to look at the "guests will not lose” rate for 2.06.

It’s no secret that Slavia likes to play with an emphasis on defense, therefore problems may arise with effectiveness in St. Petersburg. Pay attention to the "first half less than 1” bet for 1.97.

Away draw 1: 1 with Copenhagen in the LES starting round is more positive than negative for Semak wards. But for the upcoming game, they are not in the best mood, because last weekend St. Petersburg people lost the first time in the championship to outsider Anji with a score of 1: 2. Now they will try to rehabilitate themselves for that failure already in the European arena.
Despite the loss of 1: 2 against Banik in the Czech Republic championship, Slavia continues to go in the first place in this contest. It shows similar indicators in the Europa League, where in the first round, Bordeaux won 1: 0. The club from Prague is not the first season shows a high level of the game, which allows him to claim at least the release in the European Cup spring.

But the class of Zenit players is much higher, that is why St. Petersburg people are considered to be favorites of this match. The Russian club will try to achieve a positive result at the minimum speed, because this season the priority for him is internal competition.
