Rotor Volgograd vs Zenit St Petersburg: Predictions
Sergei Semak men are easily the best team in the country, and they have a phenomenal statistic way to the title last year. They have scored the most goals, 65, while others do not even have to touch the mark of 50 goals.
Save notes they have conceded a total of just 18 goals during the campaign, which is also much better than the rest of the squad in the league.
They will surely love to start their campaign on a winning note, and have the perfect opportunity to do so.
