Zenit vs Dortmund Prediction & Betting tips
Borussia Dortmund has already made it to the knock-out phase of the Champions League and is certain of the lead in group F with a win over Zenit. The Russian leader has already been eliminated and will only play for the honor on Tuesday evening.
Zenit St. Petersburg:
With one round to go in the group stage of the Champions League, Zenit knows that it will no longer play European football this season after the winter break. Because number three Club Brugge has six points more than Zenit, the Europa League is no longer within reach. The Russians are last in group F with one point from five games. Only the home game against Lazio in Italy yielded a point. In early November, Zenit and Lazio held each other for a 1-1 draw. In total, Sergej Samak’s formation scored only three goals during this European campaign. Club Brugge goalkeeper Ethan Horvath (own goal), Artem Dzyuba and Aleksandr Erokhin were the only players to be accurate for the Russian team.
In the Russian Premier League, Zenit performs a lot better. Zenit is the leader in Russia with 35 points from seventeen matches. First place is shared with Spartak Moscow, who has a worse goal difference (+24 to +15). Last weekend FC Ural was simply settled. At the Saint Petersburg Stadium, a 5-1 victory was on the scoreboard after 90 minutes. Sardar Azmoun became the match winner with three goals. After only half a minute Zenit was on a comfortable 3-0 lead. Besides the Iranian Azmoun, Dzyuba and Douglas Santos were also accurate on Saturday afternoon.
Borussia Dortmund:
In last Saturday’s Bundesliga game, Borussia Dortmund missed two points in the hunt for the lead. Dortmund is fourth and visited mid-engine Eintracht Frankfurt. The number nine in the Bundesliga was already seven games without a win prior to the confrontation with Dortmund. Still, the home team surprisingly took the lead after nine minutes via a relatively sustainable shot. Only after the break did the formation of Lucien Favre level the score again. Giovanni Reyna was devastating and scored his second goal of the season. The eighteen-year-old American was at the forefront together with Julian Brandt and Jordan Sancho. Erling Braut HÃ¥land is injured and is not expected to return for a few weeks. The Norwegian sustained a hamstring injury in the run-up to the game against Lazio.
In the Champions League, Dortmund still has a chance of group victory. After five games, the Germans have ten points and are currently at the top of group F. Lazio and Club Brugge have nine and seven points respectively and could also finish at the top. Because the Italian and Belgian team play against each other, Dortmund is in any case already assured of a place in the knock-out phase of the million ball. Group profit is also guaranteed when you win on Zenit.
