Thoughts on the first CL game of the day? O/U 2 and + odds for both teams screams a 0-0 or 1-1 draw, but can anyone see Zenit at +140 winning at home?

#4Temperatures in Russia will be freezing and probably below 0, so the conditions will be rough also. Perhaps Under is worth a lookComment -

#13Tough game! Missing players for Zenit Malafeev the keeper, Danny striker and defender Criscito. Benfica may be afeccted by the weather and also the pitch I think will be in bad conditions! Maybe the draw and both team will be happy!Comment -

#14The starting lineups are announced, I'll say a few words about Zenit
Goalkeeper: Yuri Zhevnov, he's a reserve goalkeeper, but he's still one of the best in RPL, I wouldn't count him as a weakness.
Defenders: there are four of them, but only one (Anyukov) is a winger (he will play on the right flank). It means that left side will be covered by either Lomberts or Gubocan, both of them are CBs.
Midfield: no problems for Zenit here, I really want to see Denisov and Shirokov in action again, they are very good.
Offense: Kerzhakov didn't play football for almost a year because of an injury, there's no way to tell about his current form. And Kanunnikov is a young russian talent, he had a very solid season in Tomsk last year and now he's back in Zenit, I'd keep an eye on him.
Not enough attacking power without Danny and Lazovich, but Denisov and Shirokov will definitely support Kerzhakov and Kanunnikov. Today's squad is the best under the circumstances.
really no offense but you dont see a lot champions league or u have been capping champions league for some years??Comment -

#24that goal will completely change the dynamics of this game. This game should go over now because Zenit will press forward and leave themselves vulnerable in the back.Comment -

I didn't expect Zenit to play that good after such a long break in Russia. And Roman Shirokov is amazing once again. So many interesting decisions on the field, such a beautiful goal...Comment -
