Exciting matches today on UEFA CUP. Let's look at Bayern Munich vs Zenit St. Petersburg first. Bayern is playing very well at the moment but with striker Luca's Toni injured, is not good news for Bayern. Of course, they still have talented player but they are facing a team which has been playing well in Europe but not domestic. What is the reason that they are not doing well in the domestic games? Well, according to Zenit coach Advocaat , Russia field is not as good as in Europe.By the way, they have drawn German club FC Nürnberg(2-2) and beaten Leverkusen(4-1) plus Villarreal CF, Olympique de Marseille to advance to this stage. These are major achievements to them. They are very motivated to prove that their poor domestic games does not stop them from winning or draw tough matches.
Interestingly, On German soil, they have won one, drawn two and lost one; at home they have drawn one and lost three. By looking at the stats, show both team can score and I can only see that this game should be high scoring and entertaining but I will leave it. By the way, Zenit coach Advocaat spent six months coaching Bundesliga club VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach in the 2004/05 season before resigning. As such, he has experience on how to deal with German club play and this is why they drawn FC Nürnberg and beaten Leverkusen.
My prediction :
Take Zenit +1 1/2 ball 5pts. (Final score 1-1 - Won. Congrats !)
Good Luck !
