On August 26, the central match of the 6th round of the Russian Premier League will take place, in which Zenit St. Petersburg will play at home with CSKA Moscow. The forecast for this match is given by the famous football commentator Viktor Gusev.
Zenit misfired in the last two rounds in the form of draw results with Lokomotiv and Ufa, which is why they lost their lead in the standings.
CSKA also does not shine with stability, being in the process of restructuring with a new inexperienced coach. The composition of the Muscovites is gradually strengthening – Vlashich and Dzagoev are gaining form, Zabolotny has recovered from injury.
According to Viktor Gusev, before this match, you should not invent anything, and you need to bet on the victory of Zenit. The expert does not believe that the residents of St. Petersburg are able to allow a third misfire in a row. The" blue-white-goluba " composition is much broader and more balanced. In addition, the Army team has not won against the St. Petersburg team since 2018, and in this meeting they will be forced to play without Schennikov and Magnusson.
