Zenit – Chelsea : Preview & Prediction
Chelsea took control of this Champions League group at the best of times! Beaten in the first leg on the lawn of Juventus (1-0), the London club was able to take revenge against the Bianconeri at home (4-0). A large victory which allows him to return to the height of the Italian team, but to take the lead thanks to the results of direct confrontations. Certainly, the reigning European champion seems to have done the hard part, to ensure a quieter round of 16. However, it will be necessary to finish the work on his last day and a trip to the lawn of the Zenit Saint Petersburg. Despite his defeat to West Ham last weekend (3-2) and the loss of first place in the Premier League, it is difficult not to see Thomas Tuchel’s players do the job during this meeting.
To keep their coronation in C1, they know the importance of finishing at the top of their group. Having already been able to beat Zenit Saint Petersburg in the first leg at home (1-0), Chelsea hope to do the same on the road this time around. And his opponent of the day has nothing more to play in this last day! The Russian club is already guaranteed to finish in third place in this group and therefore to be transferred to the Europa League. However, with only four points in five days and having failed to do better than a draw in Malmö, on the previous day of C1, Sergei Semak’s team will have a hard time getting a result, this Wednesday. Chelsea should therefore be able to win and validate their first place, regardless of the result of Juventus, in the other meeting of the group.
