|  Benfica |
Betting suggestion:
Zenit St. Petersburg usually make good performances in home games and in this game the tendency is to continue. On the other hand, it should be noted that Benfica has a quality squad, that is, it is expected to dominate in some moments of the match. We point out that both Benfica and Zenit have very cautious game models. Therefore, and also considering the defensive quality of the teams, we believe in a very close game with few chances of goals, making betting in favor of the '' Minus 2.5 Goals '' market is a good option.

Analysis Zenit
The home team plays their second match in Group G, after the (1‑1) draw in their first match for this group stage, against Olympique Lyonnais. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 12 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss at their stadium.

Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 40 of the last 61 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In the last 3 home matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (76'‑90') and 3 of their 8 goals between (61'‑75').
Zenit St. Petersburg comes unmotivated for this match after the 1-0 loss against Lokomotiv Moscow for the Russian Championship. We point out that the Russians got a 1-1 draw against Olympique Lyon in their first Champions League game. In this match against Benfica, coach Sergey Semak should privilege the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the right. At the individual level we highlight the striker Artem Dzyuba, who is very strong at the finishing: he has 5 goals scored in official games. Out of this game are Malcom and Zuykov, both injured.

Analysis Benfica
The away team comes to this 2nd round of Group G after a loss in their debut in this group stage, against RB Leipzig, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 12 wins and 3 losses in away matches, with 39 goals scored and 11 conceded; against 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses at their stadium, with 42 goals scored and 12 conceded. In their last match, for the Primeira Liga, they got a home win against Vitória Setúbal by (1‑0). In the last 10 away matches Benfica has won 9 and lost 1. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 3 of the last 10 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In the last 6 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90').
Benfica heads into this match after a short 1-0 win against Vitória de Setúbal, in a match counting for the Portuguese championship. It is important to note that the Portuguese club urgently needs to add the three points in this match for the Champions League, as they lost their first meeting against RB Leipzig by 1-2. Still, and because of playing on a very difficult stadium, the coach Bruno Lage should favor defensive organization and counterattacking through the corridors. Midfielder Pizzi is very dangerous in the game of set pieces and long shots. For this game the visiting "mister" cannot count on Chiquinho, Conti and Florentino Luís, all injured.
