Zenit Preview – Can Zenit finish on a high?
Zenit will be keen to put an end to their slump in the Champions League campaign following two defeats and a draw when they entertain Chelsea at their Saint-Petersburg Stadium as the hosts look to secure 3rd place in Group H.
A 4-0 home win over Malmo seems set to be enough for the Russian hosts to secure 3rd place in the group which would earn them a place in the Europa League knockout stage as they hold a three-point cushion over Malmo.
However, with just one win from their previous 12 ties in the Champions League, Zenit look to be up against it when Chelsea come to visit on Wednesday night.
Chelsea Preview – Can Chelsea secure top spot?
Chelsea sit top of Group H level on points with Juventus heading into the final matchday on Thursday night having won four of their five matches to date in the group stage with home and away wins against Malmo, as well as victories over Zenit and Juventus.
The Juventus success came in the shape of a 4-0 win at Stamford Bridge while on the road, Chelsea have lost just one of their last nine games on their travels which also includes seven victories, so the London club look in good shape to secure the three points here.
