Juventus – Zenit

The Champions League returns this week and will see Juventus host Zenit in Group H at the Allianz Stadium on Tuesday. Juventus have performed impeccably in their European duties so far. After beating Malmo 3-0 away from home in their first game, the Bianconeri picked up 1-0 wins over Chelsea and Zenit St Petersburg in their second and third games respectively.

Zenit St Petersburg lost 1-0 to Chelsea in their first game before comfortably beating Malmo in their next encounter. However, they fell to defeat again in their third game as they lost 1-0 to Juventus on home turf.

There have been just three meetings between Juventus and Zenit St Petersburg in the past, all of which came in the Champions League. Juventus have won two of those games and drawn the other. The two sides faced off in the last round of the Champions League, with Juventus winning 1-0. Zenit St Petersburg go into the game on Tuesday in need of a win to keep their hopes of qualification alive. However, we expect the Russian outfit to fall short on Tuesday.
