Zenit take on the visitors Molde at the Saint Petersburg Stadium in the first leg match of the UEFA Europa League play-offs. The match will be played in Saint Petersburg on Thursday, August 23rd.
Zenit are a very famous team for a lot of fans in Europe. The Lions were able go win the UEFA Cup trophy ten years ago. However, the team has not been looking that good and has not been able to compete for the gold even in their local league for the last few years which has been a disappointment for their fans. Now the squad of the Blue-White-Sky Blues is quite impressive and is a scary one for their opponents. In their last three matches Zenit beat Ural with 4-1 score, Dinamo Minsk with a 8-1 score and Rubin with a 1-0 score.

Molde have been showing their high class in the Eliteserien and have been toying with their opponents in their local league for years. There are a lot of high class players in the squad of the team who often show stable performances on the international scene. Now it`s hard to tell about the goals for them but their manager is ready to go through to the group stage of the UEFA Europa League. In their last three matches Molde lost to Stabaek with a 1-3 score, beat Hibernian with a 3-0 score and Brann with a 5-1 score.
Zenit and Molde have never faced each other before. Now the Lions are the obvious favourites in the lead-up to the upcoming fixture, they have been in a great shape lately.
Prediction for the match: Zenit to win with -1.0 handicap.
