Analysis: Last week, Zenit was disadvantaged at +400 on the money line when they made the trip to Leverkusen, but a stunning performance in Bay Arena and a thorough trouncing had them pull ahead of the favored German side(-165 BetUS soccer odds) with a 4:1 score. Nothing short of a miracle will see the Germans advancing into the final four!
Coach Advocaat’s players humiliated the Germans before a partisan crowd and a demoralised and chaffing German team arrives in St. Petersburg. With the odds against them, the second leg in St. Petersburg is widely considered a mere formality – sealing a fate that is now conceded.
Aside from the win in the first leg, further recommending the Russian side is the fact that they play well on home turf. In their last two UEFA Cup matches played at home, Zenit walked off the field triumphant. Combined with a poor away record for the German and betting on a home win is the only sensible option for soccer bettors! The Russians could use this match as a practice run for the semi-finals, so expect them to find the back of the net more than once.
