On Tuesday, starting with 17:55, the Zenit – Dortmund match will be played, within the group stage of the Champions League. In the tour, Dortmund won 2-0 at home, through the goals scored by Sancho (penalty) and Haaland. Thus, the Germans tick the second victory in three direct matches with Zenit.
Zenit comes after a solid victory in the Premier League, 5-1 with Ural, keeping its first position in the standings, tied for points with Spartak Moscow. It was the first successful success of the Russian champion after 4 drought matches (in all competitions), which can give her morale before the dispute with Dortmund. For Sergei Semak’s group, however, it is a duel only for the record, being already eliminated from the Champions League after a single point obtained in the first 5 rounds.
Dortmund managed only one draw at the weekend, 1-1 at Frankfurt, in the Bundesliga. Thus, Lucien Favre’s students accumulate 19 points, 4 less than the Bayern leader and two below Leipzig, occupying the second position in the ranking. It is the second consecutive result of 1-1, after the one registered in the Champions League, with Lazio. The Germans have 10 points in group F and are already qualified in the eighth round of the competition, but they can lose the first position if Lazio (9 points) will beat Brugge.
