Naumov: Zenit may win against CSKA by a small margin

Former president of the "Lokomotiv" club Nikolay Naumov shared his thoughts on the match possibilities between "Zenit" and CSKA teams. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

This game will take place on August 3 in Saint Petersburg as part of the third round of the Russian championship. According to Naumov, it is unlikely that CSKA players will be able to defend tightly in Saint Petersburg.

The match is expected to be active due to the initiatives of both teams. This will create an advantage for "Zenit."

The Petersburg team will try to put pressure on the opponent with high pressing, and in Naumov's opinion, "Zenit" may win by a one-goal margin. In the last five encounters, CSKA has only won once, and that was in a penalty shootout.

According to the results of regular time, three games ended in a draw, while "Zenit" won two matches. Therefore, this upcoming game is also expected to be uncompromising and interesting.

Experts believe that "Zenit" has an advantage, but CSKA will also try to take advantage of its opportunities.
