Baltika

Zenit hold a commanding advantage in recent meetings, winning seven of the nine recorded head-to-head matches against Baltika across all competitions. Baltika have struggled for victories on home turf this term, managing just one win in four attempts. In addition, Zenit have conceded only two goals across four away matches while keeping three clean sheets. Combining Zenit's superior defensive record away from home with their historical dominance makes backing the visitors to avoid defeat the most reliable approach, while the low historical goal average of 1.44 per game points towards a low-scoring match under 2.5 goals.

Lokomotiv remain winless across six league matches, failing to win any of their three away fixtures while scoring just 0.8 goals per match overall.
