Zenit vs Chelsea Prediction & Tips
At the Gazprom Arena in St. Petersburg, it is little more than a catwalk to honor for Zenit on the final day of Group H of the Champions League. The Russian team, already mathematically certain of third place in the group, will greet the competition by moving to the second phase of the Europa League. Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea, on the other hand, will have to finish ahead of Juventus to maintain the top of the group. The two teams could reach equal points but the difference will be the direct clashes in which the Blues have the advantage. Zenit, who command the Russian championship one round from the winter break, drew 2-2 in the last home match against Rostov and are unbeaten in all competitions in 5 games (3 draws and 2 wins). After a streak of 12 useful results in a row across all competitions, Chelsea fell in the last round of the Premier League beaten 3-2 by West Ham in London. A knockout that made the Blues lose the top of the championship.
Chelsea have kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 7 Champions League games.
Chelsea have won 6 of their last 7 Champions League games, losing only in Turin to Juventus 1-0.
Zenit has won only 1 of their last 12 Champions League matches, the one on 29 September against Malmoe 4-0.
Chelsea have won 5 of their last 6 away games in all competitions.
Chelsea’s victory looks very likely as the Blues will have to defend the top spot in the group table. We are aiming for mark 2 in the match that will be played against a Zenit who is already sure of third place and who is waiting for the next championship match to go on vacation for a while.
