Based on last 50 matches in "Russia. Premier League", up to 04/16/2023
To build a prediction for the FK Rostov - Zenit match, scheduled for 16 April 2023, several key factors could influence the outcome. FK Rostov have played 50 matches, in which they won 23 of them, drew 14 times and lost 13 matches. Zenit, having played 50 matches, won 34 times, drew 11 matches and lost 5 defeats. In the league, FK Rostov average 1.7 goals scored per game and 1.5 conceded. Zenit average 2.3 scored and 0.7 conceded. These sides last met on 1 October 2022 at Zenit's ground, where the home side came out on top.
It seems to me that Rostov are being slightly underrated in this matchup. I think that in a home match, Valeri Karpin’s team will be able to score against Zenit, who are not as strong as they seem. Since the start of the year, Rostov have scored in every match.
Rostov is the trending team for BTTS. In general, they currently have 10/12 successful picks at home, but Zenit have no more objectives, such as winning the championship. They should show that they are not just considered the strongest club in words.
On average, Zenit receive 1.09 yellow cards per away game. FK Rostov receive 2.25 yellow cards at home. A fairly strict referee has been appointed for the match, so I believe FK Rostov will receive more yellow cards than Zenit.
