Zenit Borussia Dortmund betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be the existence of several goals. Despite going through an irregular moment, the Dortmund club has more and better arguments compared to the "enemy" of this round, and so it is very likely that they will be able to score a goal. On the other hand, Zenit St Petersburg has a very interesting offensive sector, able to take advantage of the defensive difficulties of their opponent. Thus, it is interesting to risk in favor of the "Over 2.5 Goals" market in this game.

Analysis Zenit

After 1 draw and 4 losses, the home team is currently in the 4th position, with 1 point won. In the last match, they have lost (3‑0) in an away match against Club Brugge, after in the previous round they have lost (3‑1) in an away match against Lazio. 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 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses at their stadium, with 40 goals scored and 15 conceded. They come to this match after a home win against Ural by (5‑1). Zenit has won 7, tied 1 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 5 matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 5 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 24 of the last 27 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 21 out of 27 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 5 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Note that the Russians won only 1 point in 5 matches in the Champions League. Usually coach Sergey Semak plays in 4-4-2, prioritizing the organization of his block and counterattacks, especially through the right: Malcom is very fast and competent in transporting the ball to the attack. For this match, the home commander cannot count on Dejan Lovren, a player who is quarantined.

Confirmed Lineup: Mikhail Kerzhakov, Yaroslav Rakitskiy, Douglas Santos, Danila Prokhin, Magomed Ozdoev, Daler Kuzyaev, Aleksei Sutormin, Wílmar Barrios, Malcom, Sebastián Driussi, Sardar Azmoun.

It should be noted that the Germans drew 1-1 against Lazio in the last match in the Champions League. In this trip to the Zenit field, commander Lucien Favre should keep the team in 4-2-3-1, privileging the maintenance of ball possession and positional attacks, however, in some moments of the match he must play only on the counterattack: Julian Brandt will be the most advanced man on the team. For this match the visiting team cannot count on Manuel Akanji, Thomas Delaney, Raphael Guerreiro, Erling Haaland, Thomas Meunier and Marcel Schmelzer, all due to injury.
