Dortmund have the following players out for this game:

Sven Bender
Neven Subotic
Jakub Blaszczykowski
Ilkay Gundogan

And have both Lewandowski and Hummels in doubt, which tells me they are not 100% anyway. So very thin line up, but the real question is if that deserved 3-0 defeat on the weekend was in fact a good thing? Before that loss they were on a good winning run and high on confidence, and maybe needed a good loss to bring them to back to the ground. After all, they much inferior team then last year.

Zenit have the following players out:

Danny
Cristian Ansaldi

Replaceable players. Zenit on the other hand have been enjoying the Russian winter break by training and playing friendlies in warmer climates, I am sure they will be fresh and ready for this game. Their last competitive game was in fact a large 4-1 loss to Vienna. I am sure, similarly to Dortmund, it did more good than bad to them for this game.

Any takes?

I'm a little bit Biased here leaning towards Zenit, I'm not fully convinced by how well they can compete outside of Russia.. Atletico Madrid pretty much decided who was going to get through, Zenit is lucky to advance with 1 win.. Probably gonna be a 1-1 draw and Dortmund takes care of business back at home later.

[MutaPukan]

I'm investigating hardcore on Zenit. I fancy them to get something but my investigation is not over yet.

[barca12]

I hate taking draws but this just might be a game to take one. Not sure at all. Dortmund are better side but too many players out and I dont know the quality of guys that will step in tommorow..hopefully somebody comes with more insight into this game..really hard to pick a side in this game

[MustWinPlease]

zenit +2 is paying way overs will be fantastic to put in a multi
also under 3.5 goals looks good or zenit +1

Dortmund have the following players out for this game:

Sven Bender
Neven Subotic
Jakub Blaszczykowski
Ilkay Gundogan

It's hardly worth mentioning three of those four considering HOW LONG they have been out already, Dortmunds show of form they've had since coming back from the winter break doesn't have anything at all to do with Blaszy , Gundogan or Subotic.

Both Lewandowski and Hummels took part in tonights practice, and Hummels was ready to be on the bench for saturdays game but they saved him for this one.

[barca12]

Zenit drew all 3 of their CL group phase games at home...smells like a draw but I wont be putting much $ on this game..will it be freezing cold tommorow or just regular Russia cold ?

[SarahPalin]

under or zenit +2. its hard to go to russia and win by more than 1

[vasilli07]

Watched Zenit played a few times, they have an awful defence based on CL standards. Instead of spending big to sign big name attackers, they should really spend big money on quality defenders instead.

under or zenit +2. its hard to go to russia and win by more than 1

agree
+2 is the play not enough value to bet on a single would need to put it in an accumulator

[GRIZZ]

Really uneasy going on a team that has been on break and playing friendlies, staying away from this one.

What about Olympiacos-Man U, Any thoughts there? Feeling like Olympiacos might get a decent result...

+0.5 is tempting

huge greek crowd + atmosphere + a team with a nothing to lose attitude (underdogs)

can see this ending 1-1

but man utd have there stars back and oly have saviola and no longer have mitroglou

Regarding the weather it's gonna be a couple of degrees below zero. Worth noting aswell that Zenit's fans are BANNED because of what happened in the Austria Wien game.

And reason Lewandowski left the pitch on saturday wasn't because of injury, it was because he was playing with a cold.

And regarding the Zenit groupplay, they would have lost against Atletico if it wasn't for Courtois making the biggest blunder he'll do all season. When Alderwiereld sliced a back pass into a lobb that Courtois misstimed grabbing completly.

[ohdecas]

I am smelling another day with away wins..

[Vaughany]

never been impressed by zenit at home, always look sluggish

[plekz]

Nah they looked like shit in that Atletico game, and that was Atletico B afaik Villa,Costa,Filipe,Tiago to name a few all stayed home that game.

[oldscho0led]

Lay the wood and take Zenit +1. Might play small on Zenit DNB also. Zenit are waiting for this game since Olympics! They won't just let those Germans go to Russia and beat them.

[JBFROMKENTUCKY]

Im on Dortmund big here. Bundesliga is the best football league by a wide margin in my opinion. Schalke, Dortmund, Munich, are all LEGIT. The middle to bottom of Bundesliga is much more competitive and well paced than the middle to bottom of Russia PL. I like Dortmund 3-1. While were at it..... Germany is my pick to win RIO

[JBFROMKENTUCKY]

35 degrees and clear for Kick off. Thats like 70 and Sunny where im from

I see a small margin win by ManU. Played a great game this weekend against a tough opponent.

For the Zenit game, I really see Zenit pulling away with a good result.

Taking,

Zenit +0.5

[SarahPalin]

aubameyang could be a problem for zenit im thinking

[secret007]
