THE PREDICTION
The Russian Premier League concluded last season in bizarre and fairly surreal circumstances. As Russia waged war on Ukraine, following the February invasion, football in Ukraine stopped but Russia continued. Russian clubs have been banned from UEFA competitions for an indefinite amount of time and that has, as unimportant as it seems in the circumstances, killed the competitiveness and meaningfulness with little to play for between top spot and the relegation zone. So, that will have another bearing on the standard and style of these matches - and that must be noted. Zenit Saint-Petersburg, under the management of Sergei Semak, have won the last four Premier League titles. They have started the 2022/23 campaign by hammering Spartak Moscow 4-0 in the Russian Super Cup before being held 1-1 by Khimki last weekend. They now face a Krylya Sovetov side that began their campaign with an impressive 4-2 win against newly-promoted Orenburg, in which they scored all four goals in the second-half. Despite that, and Zenit’s frustrating start, this should be a comfortable home win.
