Betis – Zenit : Preview & Prediction
Betis Sevilla have a one-goal advantage after their victory in Russia (3-2) on February 17 thanks to goals from Rodriguez, Willian Jose and Guardado. The Sevillian club could confirm during this second face to face on their soil. Nabil Fékir’s partners are in full success since they are on a good series of 4 wins in a row in Vallecano (2-1) in the King’s Cup, in Levante (4-2), in Russia against Zénit Saint-Petersburg (3-2) in C3 and ahead of Mallorca (2-1) last weekend. It was Willian Jose who offered the victory to the 3rd in La Liga on a penalty in the 83rd minute. Zenit has not played a match since its European failure last Thursday. Semak’s team has not won away from home on the European stage (Champions League + Europa League) since December 7, 2017. Since that date, the Russian club has traveled away 18 times in Europe without succeeding in taking the 3 points of the win. Returned to C3 after being eliminated from the group stage in C1, Zenit recorded 2 failures at Chelsea (1-0) and in Turin against Juventus (4-2) then 1 draw at Malmo FF (1-1). In Andalusia, there is no doubt that the Russian team will suffer and should experience further disappointment.
Betis won 3-2 in Russia in the first leg.
Betis Sevilla are on a running streak of 4 straight wins in all competitions.
The Sevillian club have won 6 of their last 8 receptions, La Liga, Copa del Rey and Europa League included.

Zenit have not won in their last 18 European trips (4 draws and 14 defeats), C1 and C3 combined.
Faced with a Betis Sevilla which is having one of its best seasons in its history, Zénit Saint-Petersburg should experience a second setback against the Spanish team in Benito Villamarin this time.
