Our first prediction is a win for Zenit. Both sides have been performing well, but Zenit are currently the favorites heading into this fixture. Given their current form and aspirations to be crowned league champions, we anticipate a win for Zenit. However, Akhmat Grozny are also a formidable opponent and will be keen to avoid losing points to remain competitive and steer clear of the relegation zone.

Our second prediction is that there will be over 1.5 goals. The last two head-to-head matches between these teams ended with more than 1.5 goals. Given their current form and strong attacking players, we expect this trend to continue.

Akhmat Grozny sits 10th on the league table with 35 points. The team has been decent and strong, and they aim to secure a safe spot in the league for next season. Their last five fixtures ended in five consecutive wins, putting them in a strong position to compete in this fixture. Their last loss was against Baltika (1-7).

Zenit sits 3rd on the league table and is one of the outstanding teams this season. With 51 points, they are in contention for the title and will be eager to keep their hopes alive with a strong performance. Their last five fixtures resulted in 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses. We anticipate fierce competition from Zenit in this match.
