Zenit vs. Orenburg: Match Prediction

The teams have already met this season in the national Cup, with Zenit emerging victorious in Orenburg, and the match saw a total of eight goals. While a similar goal fest is unlikely in the league, there are indications for another high-scoring Zenit victory.

At home, Sergei Semak's team has won 8 of their last 9 RPL matches, scoring at least two goals in 7 of these games. The success in the last round will likely boost the team's morale, which Zenit has often lacked. Moreover, Orenburg seems to be a favorable opponent for Zenit, as the club has defeated them in all 6 home league encounters with a combined score of 18-0.

Vladimir Slishkovich's team conceded three goals in each of their last two matches against Dynamo Moscow and Pari NN, who are not known for their scoring prowess. On the road, Orenburg has failed to keep a clean sheet in 14 Premier League matches, conceding at least twice in 8 of those games.

My prediction: Zenit to win and Total over 2.5 goals
