Zenit Preview – Can Zenit win back-to-back?
Despite losing their opening match in the group stage in Group H, 1-0 away from home at Premier League side, Chelsea, Zenit made an instant recovery by recording a resounding 4-0 romp at home against Malmo on Matchday 2 to stay in touch with group leaders, Juventus.
Zenit will be hoping they can produce back-to-back wins on Wednesday night when they entertain Juventus which would see them move level on points with their Italian visitors but this may be easier said than done as Zenit have lost seven of their last nine Champions League ties.
Instead, goals for both teams looks likely here as five of Zenit’s last eight home ties in the Champions League has seen both teams notch.
Juventus Preview – Can Juve win three on trot?
Back-to-back wins in Group H have not only handed Juventus the perfect start to this season’s Champions League campaign but has also placed the Italians top of the group with a three-point cushion over both Chelsea and Zenit ahead of Matchday 3.
Juventus will therefore be in confident mood ahead of their trip to Russia on Wednesday night and having scored in nine of their last 10 away ties in this competition, the Old Lady look in good shape to at least hit the back of the net here too.
In addition, Juventus have kept just three clean sheets in their last 12 away ties as well.
