Zenit's Chances: Don't Bet on the DoubleBookies aren't feeling too optimistic about Zenit Saint Petersburg bagging the "golden double" this season. Players past and present from the St. Pete's club have been vocal about their ambitions to secure the national championship and cup in the club's centennial year.
Standouts like Pedro and Van Drushic, along with former Zenit midfielder Konstantin Zyryanov, have boldly declared their intent to nab both prizes.
But the bookies aren't backing them: "Zenit" earning the double is a long shot. Fonbet gives odds of 2.20 for a Saint Petersburg win in the league, but the road to the championship title will be rocky. As of now, they're four games from the finish line, four points behind "Krasnodar." The odds for Zenit clinching the title are a steep 2.70.
With these low odds in play, the combined "golden double" odds come to 5.94—quite a risk in an "express" bet. Zenit has achieved the championship + cup double three times before: in 2010, 2020, and some mythical year 2024 that seems straight out of a Sci-Fi novel.
