Rostov vs Zenit St Petersburg Predictions

• Zenit have started the season impressively with easy victories over Lokomotiv Moscow (3-0) and Khimki (1-3).
• Rostov were beaten 0-2 here in their opening day fixture against Dinamo Moscow.
• Zenit have won three of the last four league meetings between the sides (D1).

Champions to cruise again in Rostov

Reigning champions Zenit have started their domestic season emphatically and Sergei Semak’s side should encounter few problems when they face off against Rostov this weekend.

Zenit have won the Russian Premier League for the last three seasons, and they blitzed Lokomotiv Moscow 3-0 in the Super Cup to warm up for the new campaign, before a comfortable 1-3 success in last weekend’s league opener at Khimki.

The St Petersburg giants will take all the beating again this term and Sunday’s hosts Rostov have a difficult task ahead following their 0-2 defeat here against Dinamo Moscow on Matchday 1.

Zenit have won three of the last four meetings between the pair (D1) including a 0-2 triumph on their most recent visit to Rostov Arena in August 2020, and we think they’ll cover a one goal handicap again this weekend with another 0-2 score-line on the cards.
