With his victory in the first leg, Fenerbahce can settle for a draw. Zenit must win by 2 goals to see the 1/8.
Zenit St. Petersburg vs Fenerbahce Football Betting Prediction
To reach the round of 32, Zenith finished top of the group with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. The Russians finished 1 point ahead of Slavia Prague, and ahead of Bordeaux and Copenhagen. On the national level, Serguei Semak’s players are leading the Russian Super League. But they are only one point ahead of Krasnodar. During the truce of the Russian championship, they played several friendlies and remain on 4 games without defeat, against Rostov (victory 0-5), Elche (victory 0-2), against the Luxembourg team Duledange (0-0) and against the Norwegians of Sarpsborg (win 1-2). In the first leg, the Zenit players were surprised and lost to Istanbul (1-0).
Second in his group behind Dinamo Zagreb, Fenerbahce proved his irregularity on the European level this season with 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. These results still allowed the club to overtake Spartak Trnava and Anderlecht. In the first leg, they won 1-0 against the Russians. In the league, the partners of Mathieu Valbuena only point to a disappointing 15th place, tied with Ankaragucu, first relegation since their draw against Konyaspor this weekend.
The staff for Zenit St. Petersburg vs Fenerbahce
The Zenit is deprived of its cadres Noboa, Kuzyaev (wounded), and Kokorin (prison). In addition, Paredes (PSG) left the club this winter, and the titular circles Erokhin and Shatov are uncertain.
On the Turkish side, the potential holders Mauricio Isla (suspended) Ekici and Soldado are absent as the winter rookie Serdar Aziz (ex-Galatasaray), and the little used Zajc, Guctekin, Ersu and Cigerci.
Betting tips and predictions analyzed Zenit vs Fenerbahce
Deprived of official competition since December, Zenit players have trouble getting the machine up and running again. Zenit has a big advantage on his part, namely that he plays at home, where he can take advantage of both fans’ support and the low temperature he is used to, so it is not impossible to impose, but we simply bet I’m counting on the gap and surprised in the first leg, Zenit players will be keen to redeem themselves in front of their fans. Victory of Zenit
