It is also important to inform that Zenit already won this competition, at the time with the name UEFA Cup, in the 2007/2008 season. In this game against Fenerbahçe, coach Sergey Semak should play in a 4-3-3 favoring quick transitions by the aisles. Artem Dzyuba is the team's best scorer in official matches with 10 goals scored. The coach can not count on Kuzyaev, Noboa and Erokhin, all with physical problems.
