Zenit St. Petersburg vs Leverkusen – Preview and betting tips
One of the most interesting group in Uefa Champions League is the Group C. Zenit St. Petersburg will host Bayer Leverkusen tomorrow evening from 17:00 in the first game of Tuesday in UCL.
The russian side is a little in pole-position right now, Bwin offering the best odds for their victory, 2.45 at the moment. Hulk and his teammates won the first game in this group, 2-0 against Benfica, but after that they struggled in the next two matches, ticking a goalless draw against Monaco on this stadium and a clear defeat in Germany against Bayer, 0-2. Another bad result could see Zenit with small chances for a place in the next round of this competition.
Bayer Leverkusen had a bad start this edition in Champions League, losing against AS Monaco 0-1 away. After that, Schmidt’s team recorded two victories, 3-1 at home against Benfica and 2-0 against Zenit, as we said. Bayer Leverkusen are coming after an unexpected defeat in Bundesliga, 0-1 at Hamburg against one of the worst teams this season in Germany first division. Bayer are looking for their first away victory in the last ten weeks. The last one was in August, 2-0 against Dortmund.
Excepting the meeting won by Leverkusen two weeks ago, 2-0, these two sides were face to face in 2008 as well, the germans winnin 1-0 here after they lost 1-4 in front of their own fans.
Prediction: 1X @ 1.40
Zenit St. Petersburg have the advantage of the home pitch and this fact could be a very important one in a very balanced game like this one. We expect Hulk & co to get at least one point here and keep their hopes alive.
