On Saturday, starting at 17:00, Zenit Sankt-Petersburg – Lokomotiv Moscow, the 2019 edition of the Russian Super Cup, will be played. In the last season of the domestic championship, Zenit defeated 5-3 on his own home, then draw in Moscow, score 1-1. Lokomotiv lost 3 Super Cups in the last 4 seasons in 2015 right before Saturday’s opponent.
Zenit Sankt-Petersburg has not invested at all this summer, with only returns on loans. He probably did not need, Sergey Semak’s band definitely dominating the last Russian Premier League. Zenit has won 4 Super Cups of Russia, the last time in 2016, after a 1-0 victory against TSKA Moscow. On the opposite side, Lokomotiv Moscow formalized the definitive transfer of Polish Gregorz Krychowiak from Paris Saint-Germain for 12 million euros.
The 29-year-old midfielder was lent to Moscow last season, impressing with his evolutions, 2 goals and 4 defeats in 27 home games. Lokomotiv, prepared by Yuri Semin, had no luck in the Super Cup, being defeated 3 times in the last 4 years. The only triumphs of the Muscovites in this competition date back to 2005 and 2003. Zenit has demonstrated its value and superiority to the opponent, and Alb-Blue can continue what started last season.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,88
