Zenit St. Petersburg vs RB Leipzig
Krestovsky Stadium will hold the fourth UCL week between Zenit St. Petersburg vs. RB Leipzig. The tight competition in Group G makes the host required to achieve maximum points.
Late last month they had just met at Red Bull Arena which the host won 2-1. This result makes the competition still so open because currently RB Leipzig leads with 6 points, followed by Zenit St Petersburg and Lyon by two points, then Benfica with a distance of three points in the caretaker position.
Zenit St Petersburg played twice after the match with a win over Krylya Sovetov Samara (0-2), then drew with CSKA Moscow (1-1). On the other hand, RB Leipzig lost to Freiburg (2-1) before rising against Wolfsburg (1-6) and Mainz 05 (8-0).
The high score made by the visitors clearly makes Zenit St Petersburg must increase vigilance. They also don’t want to repeat the 1-1 draw last year when they meet in the last 16 of UEL. The result that made them fall because in the first meeting lost 2-1 at the enemy headquarters. This time, the same result could threaten them to fail to qualify for the knockout phase.
Our Prediction: Under 2.5
Odds: 2.20
