FC Zenit Petersburg welcome the visitors FC Copenhagen in the Europa League Group Stage – Round 5. The match will be held on Thursday, November 29th at the Saint-Petersburg Stadium (Saint Petersburg).
Zenit currently find themselves at the top of the present EL Group C standings. They count 8 points after 4 matches. In the coming game versus Copenhagen, the Russian club is considered favorite, however, they do not play that confident lately… Zenit’ latest record is not very promising – they lost 0:2 to CSKA, got a win of 1:0 against Akhmat, and ended with a draw in the match with Bordeaux; so, when the team manage to win, they do it quite in a struggling way. If to remember Zenit’ 1st clash with the opponent in Denmark, they did not have much advantage there, thus, in the coming match the hosts can even drop the points.

As for the guests, they are currently fourth in the Group C, having 5 points after 4 rounds. Surely, any point got on Thursday will be an achievement for Copenhagen, not to say of their away win. The guests play rather consistently – they lost only once at home to Slavia Prague (0:1). In the last round, the Lions drew against the Сzechs; also, we should mention their away win over the French Bordeaux, 2:1. In our view, considering the current non-ideal form of Zenit, the visitors can possibly get points in the coming encounter.
Copenhagen will fight to a finish, as, if they concede at the Saint-Petersburg Stadium, they have no chances to qualify to the next stage. We don’t think Zenit (not that great now) will manage to win, though, to play safe, we’d better bet on the quests’ victory with +1.0 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Copenhagen to win with +1.0 handicap.
