Prediction for the RPL match which will take place on May 25. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Zenit

Zenit still remains in the fight for the championship title. Over the past couple of months, the chances of the Petersburgers for another triumph have repeatedly changed. Since the winter break, they came in second place in the standings, then recovered the gap from the leader and even created a gap from the pursuers, but at the junction of April and May for four rounds scored only 1 of 12 possible points. It seemed that after such a failure they would not be able to transform, but last weekend they beat Akhmat 5:1, with Mateo Cassierra scoring all five goals. Now they are in second place and are waiting for a misfire from Dynamo in the last round.

Rostov

Rostov had a much worse season than the previous one, but they managed to make serious progress in the second half of the season. Before the winter break, the Yellow-Blues had a lot of game problems, which even forced them to stay close to the relegation zone. In the spring, they played 11 games in the Premier League, in which they allowed only three defeats, drew once more, and won seven times - a great stretch. Last weekend, they beat Baltika 2:1 to move up to seventh place in the standings, with only one place to go up or down at the end of the final round.

Expert Betting Tips

Zenit already at the end of the last round had every chance to lose the chance of the championship, but they gave the best match of the spring, defeating Akhmat - 5:1. After such an outcome, the championship intrigue is alive and well, and therefore the team will be extremely motivated in the upcoming encounter. Rostov's situation is quite different, the Yellow-Blues will finish in the middle of the standings in any case, and therefore they are unlikely to fight hard to achieve a positive result. In addition, the southerners have picked up only 3 of a possible 27 points in their last nine head-to-head meetings in St Petersburg.
