Zenit St. Petersburg v Dortmund Tip & Quoten, 08.12.2020 – 18:55 – Champions League
On the early Tuesday evening, 08.12.2020 at 18:55, the last match day will take place in the Champions League Group F. Zenit St. Petersburg and Borussia Dortmund meet in the Gazprom Arena.

Although the black and yellow team was unable to beat Lazio Rome in Signal Iduna Park, the 1-1 nevertheless ensured that BVB remained group first (9 points). Guerreiro led the runner-up shortly before the break with a 1-0 lead (44th). Ex-bousse Ciro Immobile scored 1:1 (67th) per foul meter. The Italian Capital Club is second with eight points. FC Bruges (7) and Zenit (1) rank behind.

The team of Sergey Semak had no problems at home against Ural Yekaterinburg in the domestic Permier Liga last match day. The Russian champion and cup winner was almost a winner at the break. After 45 minutes it was already 4-0 after goals of Azmoun (17th, 22nd) as well as Dzyuba (30th, penalty) and Douglas Santos (44th). After the change of sides, things went a little quieter. Azmoun completed his hat-trick with the 5:0 in the final period (76th, penalty). Six minutes later, guests scored an honorary goal by Shabolin (82nd). St. Petersburg is leader of the league in Russia (35 points) and with Spartak Moscow he has a hard chaser on his back (also 35 points).
The Semak team has been unbeaten in the Premier League for five games and won three wins in that period. The only bankruptcy occurred on the 12th day of the game about five weeks ago in the home game against Rubin Kazan (1:2). Zenit is the most dangerous line of attacks in Russia (37 goals) and the safest back team (13 goals).
In the Champions League, on the other hand, things look very different. In the first five group games they remained winless (four defeats). The only counter was in the last home game against Lazio Rome (1:1). At the start of the new league season, Bruges lost 1-2 to FC Bruges in their own stadium. St. Petersburg already failed in the preliminary round last season, but scored seven points at that time. Aleksandr Erokhin and Artyom Dzyuba are responsible for the three CL goals (one was an own goal). Only Olympiakos Piraeus, Olympique Marseille and Stade Rennes networked even less often.
Dmitri Chistyakov (no game entitlement) and the sick Dejan Lovren will be out against Dortmund on Tuesday.

Last weekend, the German vice champion had a tough away game at Eintracht Frankfurt in front of his chest and was once again unable to win in the main metropolis. The home team went through Kamada early with a 1-0 lead (9th). The deserved 1-1 equalisation was achieved by Westphalia shortly after the relaunch (56th, Reyna). Overall, it was a fair draw in the Commerzbank Arena, even though Lucien Favre’s team was the better team in the second round. But the Hesse also managed to keep the favourite busy with fast counterattacks and thus keep away from their own goal. The Black and Yellows rank fourth in the Bundesliga (19 points behind Bayern Munich) and are four points behind the league leaders.
The Favre-Elf won only one of the last four Bundesliga games and scored only four points during this period. While there were two bankruptcies at home against the Bavarians (2:3) and Cologne (1:2), it worked out on foreign turf with last ten points out of four guest appearances. After FC Bayern, BVB is the best offensive in the Bundesliga with 22 goals in the season.
In the top class, Borussia is already prematurely qualified for the quarter-finals. With a threesome in St. Petersburg, the group victory would also be certain. The 1:1 in the last home game against Lazio Rome stopped the winning series of three consecutive games without conceding. There were two home games against St. Petersburg (2-0) and Bruges FC (3-0) as well as Bruges FC (3-0 again). So far Dortmund has only wasted the start in the current competition (1:3 with Lazio Rome). Last season BVB failed in the quarter-finals against Paris Saint Germain. Therefore, a group victory would be an advantage to meet a group second and not a group first. Erling Haaland (6 goals) and Jadon Sancho (2) scored eight of the ten BVB goals in the Champions League. Haaland leads the scorer list along with Alvaro Morata (Juventus Turin) and Marcus Rashford (Manchester United).
Marcel Schmelzer, Thomas Meunier, Reinier, Thomas Delaney, Erling Haaland, Raphael Guerreiro, Manuel Akanja and Mahmoud Dahoud are injured in Russia.

Borussia Dortmund is favourite for victory at Zenit St. Petersburg. The Russians have already been eliminated and do not even have the chance to finish in third place and thus the Europe League intermediate round. With only one point after five match days, the Semak team will retire for the second time in a row after the group stage. BVB is one round ahead and has to do without goalkeepers Haaland and many other top scorers in the last group game. During the group victory mission, other players could be spared, after all, the black and yellow players are already safe in the CL eighth finals. That’s why we’re typing that the Favre Elf won’t win in the Gazprom Arena and can be happy if she can take a point home.
