Today we will find out the name of the winner of the Russian Super Cup. Zenit and Krasnodar will compete for this trophy at the Volgograd Arena. The match will start at 20:30 Moscow time. The white-blues have won the Super Cup eight times. For the first time in history, the Black-Greens accepted this challenge.
Who is the favourite in the match between Zenit and Krasnodar?
The blue and white team won the Russian Super Cup for four years in a row. It is therefore not surprising that bookmakers consider them favourites. You can bet on Zenit to win at odds of 1.78. Krasnodar’s chances were estimated at 4.90. The probability of a draw is 3.70.
According to the bookmakers, the most likely outcome of the match is 1:0 in favour of the white-and-blues. You can bet on this result with a rate of 7.50.

Zenit is in a very good mood
The blue and whites already feel like they have the Russian Super Cup. They will try to win it for the fifth time in a row. It is time to get used to the hegemony of St. Petersburg in Russian football.
In the off-season, Sergei Semak not only did not lose any important players, but even acquired them. Maxim Glushenkov, Sergei Volkov, Yuri Gorshkov and Evgeniy Latyshonok have already joined the team. At the same time, Zenit’s main Brazilian core is in full training.

The blue and whites were preparing to take part in the Summer Cup. They defeated Sochi, who were relegated to the First League (5-2), beat Talleres (1-0) and lost to Crvena Zvezda (1-2). Zenit’s performance is still not ideal. There are mistakes and shortcomings, while the quality of the defence is suffering. We will see if Semak’s team will be more calm in the game for the trophy.
Krasnodar deserved to win! But this is not enough
For the Bulls, participation in the Russian Super Cup match will be the first in history. The team had this opportunity as the runner-up of the RPL. All last season, the black-greens were close to winning the national championship; a huge number of people supported them, wanting Krasnodar to break Zenit’s hegemony. It didn’t work out.
Murad Musaev hasn’t shown anything surprising since taking over as head coach. The Bulls’ vague transfer campaign was even more surprising. They lost Matvey Safonov, Sergei Volkov and signed older players Yuri Gazinsky, Fedor Smolov and Yuri Dupin. For what? It remains a mystery.
John Cordoba and Kevin Castano will not be playing in the Russian Super Cup match. They are busy with the Copa America. Despite this, the black-greens won three friendlies. We started with a victory in the match against Kuban (1-0) and then beat Dynamo Makhachkala (2-0). By the way, one of the goals was scored by Smolov. In the last match Krasnodar defeated Rostov 3:2. Fedor scored again, Spertsyan scored.
Prediction for the match “Zenit” – “Krasnodar” on July 13, 2024
Now it seems that the only thing Krasnodar has is character. It often helped, and with the presence of older players, only this factor can help. Although the “bulls” did not have the necessary practice during the control matches, if we remove the match with “Rostov” from the equation, they did taste small victories. Is it time for the big guys?

Zenit are going into the match fully prepared. First of all, it’s about the squad. There are many great newcomers who have already proven themselves at the Summer Cup, a Brazilian core and unchanged coaching attitudes. The last time the sky-blues lost to Krasnodar was in 2018.
Let Semak’s team win again out of habit, but both teams have scored in 11 of the last 12 head-to-head meetings. This is already interesting. The black and green are capable of scoring at least one goal based on their character.
We are offering a bet on Zenit to win the Russian Super Cup and “both teams to score” in regular time at odds of 2.65. We do not rule out that everything will be decided beyond the 90 minutes.
Tender: Zenit wins the tournament and both score at 2.65.
