Zenit Club Brugge betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this game is the existence of some goals. Zenit St Petersburg must dominate possession of the ball and have the best chances to score goals, given that has a superior squad and act at home. On the other hand, we do not believe that Club Brugge can win this game, however, it presents an offensive sector capable of creating several chances of finishing. Thus, risking in favor of the "Over 2,5 Goals" market is a good option.

Preview
Zenit and Club Brugge face at Saint‑Petersburg Stadium, in a match for this stage of the UEFA Champions League (Group Stage). There is no record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams in the last 3 years. The last time they met, on 11‑07‑2014, the match ended with the final score: Zenit (1‑1) Club Brugge. Zenit registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Zenit

The home team had direct access to this group stage, so they will play their first match in this edition of the competition. 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 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 12 wins and 3 draws at their stadium, with 39 goals scored and 11 conceded. They come to this match after a home win against Sochi by (3‑1). Zenit has won 10 of the last 10 home matches. 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. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 24 of the last 28 have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 19 out of 28 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have been able to score first and have done so in 12 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 9 of those 12 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 10 of them.

The Zenit St Petersburg team enters this game with a 3-1 home victory against S Petersburg, registering in this way the sixth straight game without losing in official matches: the team's goalscorers were Vyacheslav Karavaev, Douglas Santos and Aleksandr Erokhin. It should be noted that Zenit won the Russian Championship 19/20, thereby gaining direct access to the group stage of the Champions League. In this first match against Club Brugge, mister Sergey Semak should draw his team in 4-3-3, privileging the maintenance of the ball possession and the attacks organized mainly by the corridors: Sebastián Driussi and Vyacheslav Karavaev must compose the wings of the Russians. All players are available for this game.

Confirmed Lineup: Mikhail Kerzhakov, Danil Krugovoy, Yaroslav Rakitskiy, Vyacheslav Karavaev, Dejan Lovren, Daler Kuzyaev, Wílmar Barrios, Magomed Ozdoev, Sebastián Driussi, Artem Dzyuba, Sardar Azmoun.

Analysis Club Brugge

The away team had direct access to this group stage, so they will play their first match in this edition of the competition. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 27 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 10 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses at their stadium, with 35 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the First Division A, they got an away tie against Standard Liège by (1‑1). In the last 10 away matches Club Brugge has won 5, tied 4 and lost 1. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 18 of the last 21 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 7 of the last 9 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in all of those 7 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 6 of them.

The Club Brugge team starts for this match with a draw, to a ball, in the trip to Standard de Liège, putting an end to the five consecutive wins in official games: Krépin Diatta scored the only goal of the team. It should be noted that the visitors were the big winners of the Belgian Championship 19/20. In this match against Zenit St Petersburg, coach Philippe Clement should maintain the usual 4-3-3, favoring defensive organization and counterattacks through the flanks. Michael Krmencik, Krépin Diatta and Emmanuel Dennis will be the most advanced pieces of the team, with the first two athletes mentioned being very strong in the finalization. There are no heavy absences to register for this match.
