One of the most notable transfers last summer were those of Artyom Dzyuba to Akron and Alexander Sobolev to Zenit. Two brilliant, talented but outrageous forwards are ready for new challenges! And bookmakers are already accepting bets on its success. What will happen to Dziuba and Sobolev this RPL season?
Dzyuba already helped Akron. But how long will this escape last?
After a failed spring at Lokomotiv, Artyom Dzyuba spent almost the entire offseason in limbo. The forward was offered to different clubs, but only managed to sign at the last moment. The formidable forward’s new club was the debutant of the elite: Akron from the Samara region.
Many talk about the striker’s toxicity, but when Dzyuba is motivated, he can help any RPL team, even despite his advanced age and missing the preseason. The forward was well received in Akron; One could say that the club needed such an authoritative player who would immediately become the leader of the locker room. And the team’s coach, Zaur Tedeev, is clearly happy with the acquisition. The coach and the striker seem to have found a common language. From the first games, Dzyuba began to gain playing time and help the team!
But Artyom is motivated and very decent. After all, it is just a stone’s throw from the record that now belongs to Alexander Kerzhakov. The best scorer in the history of Russian football has 233 goals, Dzyuba already has 230. The first goal in Akron has already occurred – the striker hit the Rostov goal. By the way, here the motivation increased, because the striker does not have the best relationship with Valery Karpin.
What to expect from Brazilians:
Brazil – Peru. Only the name remains of “Selesao”
Bookmakers believe that Kerzhakov’s record will not stand. They set Dziuba’s main goal total at six goals. On a total of 6.5 goals you can bet with a odds of 2.65, and if the striker does not reach this limit, they give a odds of 1.42.
You can also bet on assists, of which Dzyuba already has three, by the way! The total here is also 6.5, and the probabilities for “up” and “under” are equal: 1.85 each.
At least at the beginning of the cooperation between Dzyuba and Akron, it seems that everyone benefited from it. The Club got a locker room leader and a forward who scores and provides assists. Artyom is close to becoming the best scorer in the history of Russian football. The main question is what will happen when the record is broken? Will the attacker calm down? Probably, the key moment will be the winter holidays: the “candy bouquet” period in the relationship between the player and the club will end and the harsh reality will begin.
For Sobolev everything is much more complicated.
However, Alexander Sobolev moved from Spartak to Zenit. Which seems to have provoked the ire of almost everyone. Moscow and St. Petersburg fans are not happy with him. The striker’s athletic form is still far from optimal. And at Zenit there is very high competition. Yes, Sergei Semak is still trying to integrate Sobolev into the team, but in RPL matches Alexander looks like a foreign body. Perhaps a break in the national team’s matches will help, at least in the friendly against Vojvodina the striker scored 2+2.
Bookmakers believe that Sobolev will have the opportunity to prove himself in St. Petersburg, the total is set at five goals. On a total of 5.5 goals, you can bet with an odds of 2.40, the opposite result is 1.51. If Alexander gives at least four assists, he will win the bet with a quote of 2.55; For a smaller number of assists, a fee of 1.45 will be given.

Argentina-Bolivia. Messi will be unhappy again
In fact, what works in the striker’s favor is the fact that they paid a decent amount for him, and also the fact that Zenit decided to make the transfer, despite the bewilderment of the experts. They will definitely give Sobolev a chance; after a couple of failed games they won’t give up on him. Another issue is that the pressure is high. High expectations, negativity from fans, the desire to overcome difficulties as quickly as possible – all this can psychologically harm a player who has not been happy in Spartak lately. This is a good test of strength for a football player. Once overcome, Alejandro will become stronger.
Bet 1: Dzyuba will give more than 6.5 assists per 1.85.
Bet 2: Sobolev will score less than 5.5 goals in 1.51.
