RUSSIA: Premier League - Round 3
Zenit started the new season by winning the Super Cup, beating Lokomotiv Moscow 3-0.They are also doing well in the league, with 2 wins after two rounds (both away games), beating Khimki 3:1 and FK Rostov 4:2. Today match will be the first home game for Zenit in the new season.
Krasnodar played 5 friendlies before the start of the league, 3 draws and 2 losses. Legia 1:1, Norimberg 0:0, Ceske Budejovice 2:2, Olympiacos 1:0 and Sepsi 2:1. They started the league with a 3:0 away win against Ural and lost 0:1 at home to Chimki, who Zenit beat in the first round.

In this match I believe that the home team will confirm the role of favourite and get 3 points. Zenit will want to win the league title again and will want to get as many points as possible from the beginning of the season and not to underestimate anything before the Champions League group stage starts.

H2H:
Krasnodar 2:2 Zenit
Zenit 3:1 Krasnodar
Krasnodar 2:4 Zenit
Zenit 1:1 Krasnodar
Krasnodar 2:3 Zenit

My bet:
Handicap: Zenit St Petersburg -1.0 @ 1.71 (local bookie)
