Zenit

For Zenit, the PARI Premier Cup at home started with a great win. Losing to Azerbaijan's Neftçi 0:1 after the first half, the team showed their football and character in the second half, scoring three unanswered goals in a 3:1 win over their opponents. But the Petersburg side's second game turned out to be unsuccessful. They played Crvena Zvezda, and the score was 1:1 till the 88th minute. However, a penalty awarded by the Serbian team spoiled everything for Zenit, who unexpectedly lost 2:1. And we should not forget that on July 15, the Super Cup of Russia is waiting for us, where the club from the banks of Neva River will fight with CSKA for the trophy.

Fenerbahce

Last season Fenerbahce showed great passion in Turkey. Everyone expects the Yellow Canaries to do well, and they did not let the fans down last season. They won the Super League title and beat Basakşehir 2:0 in the Turkish Cup final to clinch the trophy. The match, which took place on June 11, is the last for now, and after a month's break, the Turkish team will return to the pitch in the PARI Premier Cup.

Expert Betting Tips

In this encounter, we suggest staying away from the outcome. Fenerbahce is the toughest opponent for Zenit in the PARI Premier Cup. The Turkish club is in unknown form, having not been on the pitch for a month. But knowing their selection of players, there is no doubt that they will surely give the St Petersburg club a fight. Moreover, the Istanbul side loves to play bright football and does not shy away from showing themselves in attack. So, we expect a total over in the final meeting for Zenit in this tournament.
