Zenit vs RB Leipzig

After the first round, Zenit is ranked 2nd in the 7th group of the UEFA Champions League group having 4 points. In the previous match against RB Leipzig, Zenit was ahead on the score in the first half by 1-0, but they couldn't handle the pressure, resulting in a loss of 2-1. Today, against RB Leipzig again, Zenit will seek the victory that will bring them to the first position of the group, improving their chances to qualify for the next round of the competition. In their domestic league, after 15 matches played, Zenit remains 1st in the table with a total of 33 points.

Despite the fact that RB Leipzig is more inexperienced than their opponents in this group, they are first-placed with 6 points. RB Leipzig won the first match against Zenit, raising their chances for qualifying to the next round of 16, and if they leave undefeatedtonight from St. Petersburg, it will be an easier task for them. They traveled to St.Petersburg being in a good form, as they showed on Saturday's Bundesliga match against Mainz where they crushed the opponents by winning 8-0.

An important matchup today, between two teams that will fight to qualify till the end, in a really difficult group. Zenit know that they have to profit from the home advantage in order to keep their place in the group. On the other hand, I expect RB Leipzig to be aggressive, regardless of playing away from home. Zenit has a greater experience as a team and I expect them to profit from their home advantage. The home win is my call.
