Injury: Aleksandr Bukharov, Danny
Benfica have the advantage to plat this important game in front of their great fans and in normal pitch conditions. The hosts lost by Porto in very passionate fight with their top scorer Cardozo almost assured the victory for his side. However, the non- wining run of the Eagles is becoming too long and they will put a lot of efforts to cut it. The suspended Pablo Aimar will be replaced by Saviola or the young Rodrigo, so we see Benfica very competitive on the flanks.
Zenit also played against their top rivals for the first spot in the domestic championship, but in contrast to the Portuguese side they achieved much better (and smart) result and didn’t admit CSKA to outplay them. Kerzhakov (who is in amazing form) would be supported by Faizulin and Arshavin (who came from Arsenal) and the Russian team seem pretty experienced to be easily beaten. Zenit know how to oppose the famous Portuguese teams and we also should expect an open fight here, considering the offensive performing of the opponents. If Benfica qualify it hardly would be with a huge victory. The visitors possess even better defending and despite Danny is out, there are still men for counters.
Tip: Zenit +1 Odds: 1.70 Stake: 8/10
