Zenit Petersburg vs Din. Minsk Prediction & Betting tips
The Russian side leaves as a favorite due to the local factor and especially because it has high quality players in all areas of the field. For this reason and knowing that it will come out with everything to overcome the 4-0 of the first leg, we believe that the bet “Zenit will score in the first half” is interesting to bet. At stake is the pride and classification, since the defeat suffered in Belarus was humiliating for the category of the premises. Therefore, he is expected to try to overwhelm his rival from the initial minute.
Zenit:
After being thrashed in the first leg, the Russian side only has one thing to do. Risk from the initial whistle. Therefore, it is expected that the coach Semak use a 4-3-3 that allows you to get a goal in the first 20 ‘minutes of play. If he succeeds, he can still dream of the miracle of the classification. In any case you need to win by a wide score, so do not achieve this goal. At stake is the pride and history of the institution, which has been hit by this hard setback (fall 3-0 in the initial stage).
Continuing with the analysis you should know that Zenit played with its holders in Belarus and was crushed in the same way. Now the goal of the squad is to achieve a victory that allows him to recover the lost confidence and face with more calm what is coming in the Russian tournament. In this competition he played 3 matches, getting the following results after the final whistle: Victory 0-2 against Yenisev, win 1-0 against Arsenal Tula and triumph 0-1 against Rubin Kazan. For this presentation it is expected that the Kranevitter, Hernani and Kuzyayev flyers will appear, as well as forwards Rigoni, Driussi and Shatov. From the bench will also contribute the Ecuadorian Christian Noboa (mixed midfielder who defends and attacks). As an added fact, remember that Zenit registered 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at home in the last domestic tournament (31 goals scored and 10 transferred on his fence, proving to be explosive at the end and solid at the time of scoring).
Dinamo Minsk:
With a 4-0 advantage, the Belarussian side will surely come to speculate on their visit to Russia. And he will do it but without defending himself at all costs. Ideally, handle the times and mark in such a way that you despair your opponent (cool the game). Its primary objective is not to give an early goal, since this could complicate the team from the psychological. For this exit it is expected that the technician Hurenka will repeat the system 4-2-3-1 that he used in the first leg, which allows the holders to be balanced between lines and direct in exit.
On the other hand, do not forget that Dinamo Minsk is in the second position of their domestic league, after adding 37 points in total (11 wins, 4 draws and 1 fall). Of course, the team does not play an official match of this tournament since July 22 last (7 difference with the leader BATE Borisov). As a visitor, he registered 6 wins and one parity, scoring 12 goals and conceding 2 in his goal. For the Europa League, the visitors won their first two starts against lesser rivals (victory 0-2 against Irish Derry City and win 1-3 against Dun. Streda of Slovakia).
The only match that both teams have played was last Thursday and it was a blow in the betting. Few had a triumph of the Belarusians and unless it was 4-0. That day, Zenit had more possession but did not reach the goal (57%). Of course, was exceeded in number of completed auctions, but generated 8 corners in favor.
