Betting establishments display skepticism towards Ahmat's potential triumph over Zenit in the Russian Cup competition
The upcoming match between Zenit and Ahmat, scheduled for September 17 at the Gazprom Arena in St. Petersburg, promises to be an exciting encounter in the 4th round of the group stage of the Russian Premier League Cup. Zenit, currently leading the group with 9 points after winning three matches, are under pressure to secure a result in this match, hinting at a more aggressive approach from the St. Petersburg team. This assertiveness is backed by expert opinions, which suggest that Zenit has significantly higher chances of victory. According to bookmakers, Zenit is the clear favourite for the match. However, Ahmat, who have yet to secure an away win in the current season, should not be underestimated. Their previous victory over Zenit in the championship, a 1:0 win on August 9 in Grozny, serves as a reminder of their potential. Cautious bets are placed on Ahmat due to the depth of their squad and the motivational factor often playing a big role in cup games. Stanislav Cherchesov, the head coach of Ahmat, has been at the helm since August 6 and has signed a three-year contract with the club in Grozny. His leadership could be the key to another upset for the Grozny team. Notably, Gubereniyev, a respected figure in Russian football, named Talalaev as the best coach in Russia at the moment. Meanwhile, Sarveli, a Zenit coach, praised Komlichenko's goal assist, describing it as a 'blind pass, but a smart one.' In a recent development, Svishev, a Zenit official, called on Rakitsky to be sued for defamatory statements. Despite these off-field distractions, Zenit will be aiming to focus on the task at hand and secure a valuable win in the cup. As the match approaches, both teams will be eager to prove their mettle. The stage is set for an enthralling encounter between two teams with contrasting fortunes but equally high ambitions.
