A game of massive importance for both teams, where each has their separate goals - Zenit to try and stay ahead in the table, which probably means they won't take too much risk today, and I expect the same from Krasnodar, despite of that they say. They want to qualify for Champions League next season and a point here would be a huge step towards that achievement. I think both would be happy with a draw. Both teams play unproductive games lately, Zenit especially. One goal was scored in each of their last 4 games, while Krasnodar stayed under 2.5 in the last three. One of the reasons for it is the weather that's been getting worse in Russia - 7 out of 8 games in the previous championship round ended as unders. Players should be faced with snow and temperatures below zero, which is why I think we're in for a game that won't be easy on the eyes.
