Zenit vs Krasnodar Predictions
At the moment, Zenit are the strongest team in Russia, and, when they are playing at home, their power is even greater. Krasnodar, in theory, are one of the best teams in the league, but they have been known to suffer some shock losses, offering up very poor performances, as in their last game. That is why we think Zenit will win this match without too much problems.
