Zenit will miss Axel Witsel and Hulk and this can cause problems for the team. But anyway the Russians can make an outstanding achievement – six wins in six games of the Champions League group stage. This can bring them fame and prize money. This is a good chance for Danny, Oleg Shatov and others to shine. More to say, there will be no pressure on them. And I expect Artyom Dzyuba to continue his scoring string.
On the other side, Gent need a win against Zenit as they have a good chance to reach the play-offs. I didn’t expect Gent to play so effective. If they win today, they will outrun Valencia and get the second place in the group. The Belgian side scored and conceded goals in every game of the group stage. I think they will create something in attack and let Zenit to play on counterattacks. The Russians’ defense is not so impracticable, so Gent will have chances to score.
So I suggest to bet on both teams to score with the odds at 1.87.
