RB Leipzig Zenit betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This confrontation brings to the field two teams that have some differences between them. RB Leipzig is a very young team with less than a decade of history but has been surprising all and making great campaigns in the last seasons of the German Championship, although at continental level has not yet achieved anything relevant. Zenit St Petersburg is a much older team and is among the largest in Russia and also has a decent continental record with a UEFA Europa League title and a UEFA Super Cup. The German team bets a lot on plays by the sides, deep balls and long-distance kicks, and for playing in its domains, it is the favorite to win this duel.

Preview
RB Leipzig and Zenit meet at Red Bull Arena, in a match for this stage of the UEFA Europa League (8th Finals). These two teams have never met before, so this will be the first head‑to‑head between them. Zenit registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Leipzig

The home team comes to this stage of the UEFA Europa League (8th Finals) after having eliminated Napoli with a home loss by (0‑2) and a away win by (1‑3) in the previous round. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the Bundesliga, they got a home tie against Borussia Dortmund by (1‑1). In the last 10 home matches RB Leipzig has won 3, tied 3 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. They have been able to score first and have done so in 8 of the last 10 matches, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 3 of those 8 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 3 of them. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 7 home matches for all competitions: they have scored 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

RB Leipzig plays the last of a series of four consecutive games next to its supporters, who are unhappy with the team's performance, which has not won for four games, accumulating three straight defeats in that period. In its last clash, at least the team returned to score by drawing with Borussia Dortmund for the German Championship, where it now occupies the sixth position. The team arrived in the Europa League after failing to make progress in the UEFA Champions League and it eliminated Napoli, who have been campaigning well in the Italian League. The coach is likely to set up the team in 4-4-2, with highlight for Werner in the attack, who is the team's top scorer in the national championship.

Confirmed Lineup: Péter Gulácsi, Dayot Upamecano, Lukas Klostermann, Willi Orbán, Konrad Laimer, Diego Demme, Naby Keïta, Emil Forsberg, Bruma, Jean-Kévin Augustin, Timo Werner.
Coach: D. Tedesco.

Analysis Zenit

The away team comes to this stage of the UEFA Europa League (8th Finals) after a home win by (3‑0) and a away loss by (1‑0) against Celtic. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 12 conceded; against 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 36 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got a home tie against Amkar Perm' by (0‑0). In the last 6 UEFA Europa League away matches Zenit has a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 12 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Zenit St Petersburg will play again away from home after two consecutive appearances next to its fans who should be happy with the team's recent performance as it has suffered only one defeat in the last twelve games and has not conceded a goal in the last two games. In its last match, valid for the Russian Championship - where it occupies the fifth position -, the team was much superior, having finished four times more than the opponent, but ended up registering only a goalless draw against Amkar. In the previous phase of the Europa League, the team needed to eliminate Celtic, and secured the spot after a 3-0 win at home. For this duel, the coach is expected to organize the team in 4-3-3, with Kokorin prominent in the offensive sector.

Confirmed Lineup: Andrey Lunev, Branislav Ivanović, Emanuel Mammana, Miha Mevlja, Domenico Criscito, Aleksandr Erokhin, Daler Kuzyaev, Matías Kranevitter, Emiliano Rigoni, Aleksandr Kokorin, Anton Zabolotnyi.
