Zenit, in my humble opinion, has no competitor for the title this year either, and although Dynamo Moscow is close to first-placed Zenit, I think that the team from St. Petersburg will win the title without any major problems because they have the strongest team in the league without any dilemma. Zenit strengthened in the January transfer window, Brazilian Yuri Alberto was brought in, who provided great games in the Internacional jersey last season, and he will certainly be a great reinforcement. He will join the legion of Brazilians at Zenit, Wendel, Claudinho and Malcom are already there, the last two will be in the team today while Wendel will serve as a suspension. Zenit failed to beat Krylya Sovietov in the last game, it was 1-1 but Zenit played well and is a big favourite against Arsenal Tula. Claudinho and Malcom are playing fantastically this season, Dzyba is also very good and this Zenit team has been playing together for several years so they are very well coordinated.

Coach Semak will certainly want to solve the game in the first half, so I expect a very offensive formation. Arsenal Tula was in a good battle at home against Dinamo Moscow and had their moments on the day but ultimately the visitors prevailed handily 4: 1 and keep the Yellow and Reds from Tula inside the bottom four, having won just a single point from the last four games. Arsenal has a pretty daunting game this weekend when heading to Saint Petersburg for a visit to a Zenit side that is in a dogfight for the title and will need the points badly. Arsenal will look to put in a good effort and try to frustrate the "Sky Blues" but ultimately their chances in the game will be limited. Zenit is by far the strongest team in Russia, they have some players who can play in Europe's "Top five" leagues and right now I think they are level above the guest and I can see them winning today with two or more goals. I expect 2-0 or 3-0 for Zenit.

My prediction;

Outcome: Zenit to win -1.5

泽尼特,依我拙见,今年没有标题的竞争对手,尽管莫斯科迪纳摩接近第一名泽尼特,我认为团队从圣彼得堡将赢得冠军没有大问题,因为他们有联盟中最强的球队没有任何困境。泽尼特在一月份的转会窗口加强了实力，巴西人尤里·阿尔贝托被引进，他在上赛季为国际米兰提供了出色的比赛，他肯定会是一个强大的补充。他将加入泽尼特的巴西军团，温德尔，克劳迪尼奥和马尔科姆已经在那里，最后两人将在今天的队伍中，而温德尔将被禁赛。泽尼特在上一场比赛中未能击败苏克托夫，比分为1-1，但泽尼特打得很好，是阿森纳图拉的大热门。克劳迪尼奥和马尔康本赛季的表现非常出色，迪兹巴也非常出色，这支泽尼特球队已经在一起踢了好几年，所以他们的配合非常好。

斯迈克教练肯定想在上半场解决这个问题，所以我期待一个非常有进攻性的阵型。阿森纳-图拉在主场与莫斯科迪纳摩的比赛中表现不错，但最终客队以4:1的比分轻松取胜，并将黄红队与图拉挡在了前四名之内，他们在过去的四场比赛中只赢了一分。阿森纳本周末将前往圣彼得堡做客泽尼特，这是一场相当令人生畏的比赛，而泽尼特正在为争夺冠军而激烈竞争，他们迫切需要积分。阿森纳将会努力击败“蓝军”，但最终他们在比赛中的机会将是有限的。泽尼特是目前俄罗斯最强的球队，他们有一些球员可以在欧洲的“前五名”联赛中踢球，现在我认为他们的水平比客人高，我可以看到他们今天以两个或两个以上的进球赢得比赛。

预测比分2:0或3:0。
