Zenit faces Lokomotiv Moscow in the Russian Super Cup final. The match will be played on Friday, July 7th at Arena CSKA (Moscow)
The current champion of the country suffered only two defeats for the entire season. St. Petersburg Zenit is by far the best team in the Russian championship. And Semak is definitely one of the best coaches in the country. The Petersburgers have not lost a single official match in 2020, and this is just a fantastic indicator. The defensive line, headed by Ivanovich, is in perfect order – Zenit’s goalkeeper conceded only 18 goals in 30 rounds of the championship. One of the best players in the championship Barrios sets the tone in the center of the field. The best RPL duo Dzyuba and Azmoun are responsible for the attack. Currently, Zenit definitely has no competitors in Russia, and the team will surely be hyper-motivated to win three of the three trophies in Russia.

The last time Lokomotiv Moscow lost was in February of this year, and the team probably has forgotten what a defeat is. Nevertheless, everything will be somewhat different in the upcoming meeting. The main leader of the team, Alexei Miranchuk, is about to leave the team. The Russian's contract is expiring, there are offers from Europe, including from such giants as Milan, therefore Alex is already "packed and ready to go." Besides, João Mario, who is certainly a cool player, left the club after the expiration of his loan. However, the Portuguese did not reveal himself, especially in the Champions League, and the ransom price of 18 million is too high for this player. Eder and Djordjevic are injured and are unlikely to recover for the match. With such personnel losses, it will be very difficult to play against the super-motivated Zenit.
The spectacle should be very worthy, and I agree with the quotes of the bookmakers, who have set Zenit as a clear favorite. Semak’s team can make a kind of hat trick this year – to win the championship, Cup and Super Cup of the country, I think it will be the most important match of this stage of the season. If we look at head-to-head meetings, a certain trend has emerged in favor of Loko, and this will act as an additional impetus for the newly made champion. It is not good for Zenit not to defeat Lokomotiv for five matches in a row. I think that these statistics will be broken, and Azmoun and the best RPL player of this year Dzyuba will definitely hit the opponent's goal and bring victory in the Super Cup to their team. My choice is a clear victory of Zenit.
Prediction for the match: Zenit to win
