Game Totals Prediction

Akron is collapsing in all directions and risks sinking to the bottom of the RPL table. Zenit is heading in the opposite direction. The St. Petersburg team hasn't lost in a long time and is already within striking distance of the RPL leaders. It's hard to find any intrigue in the upcoming match; at this stage of the season, the visitors look far stronger. I think Semak's men will add three points to their tally: Zenit wins with a handicap (-1) – 1.64.
