Before the match
Zenit is approaching this meeting against the backdrop of a series of setbacks, losing twice in a row. First, St. Petersburg lost the chance to collect all the trophies possible this season, flying out of the Russian Cup following the results of a penalty shoot-out in a home match with Dynamo, and then lost to CSKA on the road already in the RPL. Note that both matches were grassroots – the main time with the blue and white ended with a score of 1:1, and the army team won 1:0. Perhaps, against the background of such a game and the results, a break for the matches of the national teams was most welcome for Zenit.
At the same time, one of the main problems of the current champion of Russia has not yet been resolved. We are talking about the injury of Wilmar Barrios, which he received during the match with Khimki. Dynamo and CSKA lost just without their midfielder, who brilliantly plays the role of a link between defense and attack. Initially, the team seemed to have hope that he would have time to recover immediately after the pause for national team games, but now Sergey Semak announced that the Colombian was not ready to return to the field in the match with Ural.
The club from Yekaterinburg, just before the window of the national teams’ matches, broke their impressive 16-match unbeaten streak, losing at home to Dynamo, who scored the only goal of the meeting in the 90th minute. During this series, Ural has drawn three times in the championship and in the Cup of Russia (if we take only regular time and count the penalty shoot-out won with CSKA in the group as a draw).
In terms of points scored, Yekaterinburg, of course, are not close to Zenit, but Viktor Goncharenko has already managed not only to pull the team from the bottom of the standings, but also to create a small margin even relative to the play-off zone.
Forecast for the match “Zenith” – “Ural”
The game of the Urals has long been quite well-built and organized. Each player knows his role on the field, the team mechanism works as it should. Of course, it cannot be said that Zenit’s game is not built, but the most important element that has temporarily fallen out of it in the face of Barrios cannot be fully replaced by anyone.
It should be noted that in the first round the teams met already under Goncharenko, and then the St. Petersburg team won away with a score of 4:0 – but that was only the second game of the Belarusian coach in Ural. Now Yekaterinburgers are much better prepared and should definitely fight in St. Petersburg. We assume that Zenit will win, but with difficulty – it is very likely that with an advantage of one goal.
Our predictions for the match “Zenith” – “Ural”:
- total less than 3, odds – 1.86;
