Zenit – Juventus : Preview & Prediction
Zenit Saint Petersburg is not at its best at the moment … Since his success in C1 against Malmo FF (4-0) on September 29, the leader of the Russian championship has lost his last two meetings against Sochi ( 1-2) at the Gazprom Arena and on the Arsenal Tula pitch (2-1). With 3 defeats in its last 6 outings, Zénit will find it difficult to take the Italian team back. Juventus Turin, on the other hand, is on a sparkling form and the latter has just aligned 5 victories in a row at Spezia (3-2), against Sampdoria (3-2), against Chelsea (1-0 ) in the Champions League, on the lawn of Torino (1-0) and against AS Rome (1-0) this Sunday. It was the former Parisian Kean who offered the victory goal to the Old Lady who climbed back to 7th place just 3 points from 3rd place. On the European scene, the Turinese achieve a faultless with 1 large victory in Malmo (3-0) and 1 short success over Chelsea (1-0) … Two successes which allow the Transalpines to occupy the 1st place of the group . A third performance in Russia would certainly qualify a Juve which has regained its colors for a month. Zenit, already defeated at Chelsea (1-0) but tied on points with the Blues, would not compromise its qualification in the event of failure against the Italian leader.
Juve have never lost against Zenit: 0-0 and 1-0 in the 2008-2009 season.
The Turinese are on an incredible streak of 5 straight wins, Serie A and Champions League combined.
Zénit has lost its last 2 league games since its success in C1 in front of Malmo FF.
Juve is flawless in this group stage (2 wins in 2 days).
The Russian club already lost to Chelsea (1-0) on September 14.
Juventus Turin has had a series of successes for almost a month … The Old Lady, who has never lost in her history against Zenit Saint Petersburg, can end this first phase with a new victory and 9 points on the clock.
