In this match, I will place a bet based on the teams' motivation and lineups. CSKA Moscow will most likely field its main lineup, while Zenit will use a mixed lineup with substitutes and reserve players. Moreover, CSKA Moscow performs much better than the visitors in cup matches.
This season, also in Moscow and only in the league, CSKA Moscow and Zenit played out a 1:1 draw. Now, however, both teams are in poor form, so we should not expect an exciting game, and, just as in the derby against Spartak, the Army Men may well play out another goalless draw.
