On Wednesday, starting with 20:00, the Dortmund – Zenit match will be played, within the second round of the Champions League groups.
Dortmund and Zenit started with the left the new edition of the Champions League. While the German team was defeated without appeal on the field of Lazio, score 1-3, the Russians were defeated at home by Club Brugge, score 1-3, following a goal scored in the 90 + 3 minute of Ketelaere. In this context, there is no room for mistakes for either team. Otherwise, the equation for qualifying for the next phase of the competition could be drastically complicated for Dortmund and Zenit.
Starting from the aspects mentioned above, we are of the opinion that the students of the Swiss Lucien Fevre will do everything they can to get all the points at stake. In this sense, we expect Dortmund to use from the first minute players like Haaland, Witsel, Reus or Hazard after, in the duel with Schalke in the championship, the last 3 started the dispute on the reserve bench. Thus, with the best first 11 available, the chances of Dortmund getting confused are small. It is on this fact that we also built our predictions.
Dortmund (4-2-3-1): Words; Meunier, Hummels, Akanji, Guerrero; Witsel, Delaney; Sancho, Brandt, Reus; Haaland.
Zenith (4-5-1): Kerzhakov; Karavyev, Lovren, Rakitskiy, Krugovoy; Yerokhin, Barrios, Ozdoyev, Wendel, Driussi; Dyzuba.
Zenit comes after 2 consecutive defeats with 1-2, with Brugge and Kazan;
Without a draw in the previous 29 matches played by the Germans;
Dortmund, 3 victories in the last 4 matches played;
PREDICTION: Dortmund to win @ 1,36
