Zenit St. Petersburg vs FC Copenhagen
Europa League - Group Stage - Round 5
We are in Group C. This group is still not clear. In this group there are various variations for the first two teams that will go into play offs. Three teams have hopes for one of the first two places. All three teams are enigmatic. (Slavia, Zenit and Copenhagen). Only Zenith has no defeat.
In any case, Zenit is currently in the 1st place. However, if they are defeated in this match, then they have trouble. True, Slavia has a match against Bordeaux away. However, as things stand, Bordeaux gave up the fight for the next stage. Otherwise, in the last match Zenit has a clash against Slavia away. It can be very risky for Zenit.
Also, hosts are without Neto (cards) and Noboa. Otherwise, they are the dominant team in the Russian Premier League. Safe attack and solid defense. Dzyuba, Erokhin and Driussi may be a big threat to their opponent.
On the other hand, visitors are also the dominant team in the Danish league. At the last match, they were better against the big rival Midtjylland (2: 1) at home. No doubt, they also have great aspirations in this type of competition. True, in the last two matches in the EL they collected only one point against Slavia away but without goals. Otherwise, their coach, Stale Solbakken, is very experienced in his job. So, N'Doye (10 goals), Skov (10 goals) and Fischer (7 goals) can also be a threat to their opponent.
Anyway, at first glance, this is home win. Maybe it's a very logical option. On the other hand, visitors will try to force their forces into the defense. If Zenit starts to win at any price, they will leave room for a counter attack. I believe this will not be a boring match. So, BTTS-Yes with Odd 2.00 is a better option for me than Home win with Odd 1.72. In any case, Zenit will not be defeated in this match.
