FormCheck Zenit St. Petersburg
Examining the last (Pflichtspiel-) defeat of the Russians, one must look back to the 24/04/2016. Since then 17 competitive matches have been completed and won 12 of them. Nevertheless Zenit is currently with a goal difference of 18: 6 only on the 3rd place of the Russian Premier-Liga.
Last weekend we went to the League against FC Anzhi Makhachkala. Despite an early lead by a double whammy of Dzyuba from the 7th and the 18th minute, the team was coached by Mircea Lucescu not bring victory home. Still in the first half, conceding to the first goal. The balance in this competitive and partly about hard-fought game then fell in the 64th minute. St. Petersburg made the game and was superior. Ultimately, it was probably a bit unlucky that Makhachkala also scored two goals in his two chances and Zenit from nine Torabschlüssen and an average possession of 58% could not make more money. For example, the St. Petersburg had just one point satisfied (Result 2: 2).
it was a prelude to the Europa League to Tel Aviv. In this very entertaining game scored 7 goals. The prelude to this goal fest made Maccabi already in the 26th minute. After the restart, Tel Aviv was able to extend the lead first with two other gates, although the Russians pretended the game and were clearly superior. From the 70th minute, the sheet is turned, however, and Zenit managed by Kokorin the first goal. After Dasa (Maccabi Tel Aviv) had 81 minutes with yellow / red off, the Russians gave again the gas. So it was Mauricio (84th min.), Giuliano (86 minutes) and Djordjevic (2nd minute of added time) that turned the game permanently. In the end it was 4: 3 and Zenit was able to start the journey home with three hard-earned points. Thus, Zenit St. Petersburg is currently No. 1 on the group D. In the game against AZ Alkmaar coach Lucescu will be without Denny, who is still missing because of a cruciate ligament injury a while.

Alkmaar had seen throughout the lot more possession and was in the first half, the better team. So you went to a penalty, the Weghorst 36 minutes into the transformed first deserved lead. Weghorst it was after the restart too, which increased for Alkmaar after 52 minutes. Then Alkmaar increasingly more play from there and wanted to lead only manage perhaps in view of the difficult away game against St. Petersburg-. This should take revenge quickly. In the 66th firstly conceding the Anschlusstor and after 87 minutes the not undeserved equalizer. So Alkmaar is currently in 5th place in the Dutch Eredivisie. The goal difference is currently 12:. 6
Also in the Europa League, it was enough for Alkmaar at home against Irish club Dundalk FC only to a 1: 1 draw. Alkmaar had returned to form in both halves, but was in the game only 3 shots on goal. One of them then also reached the target and so the AZ took the lead 61 minutes by Wuytens – which in this goal drew upon a concussion and was injured substituted – absolutely deserved lead. Despite a yellow / red card O’Donnell (Dundalk FC) in 71 minutes, it should for the Dutch but not enough for the victory. In the 89th minute, the Irish were still awarded a free kick that led to the late and not just compensation. So, the Dutch and Irish share not only the points but initially the positions 2 and 3 in Group D of the Europa League.
