Zenit - Club Brugge KV 20.10.2020

Zenit Saint Petersburg and Club Brugge cross swords on this first day of the group stage of the Champions League. Neither team will consider themselves without a chance in this match.

Zenit St. Petersburg:

Zenit Saint Petersburg seized the Russian national title last season, the second in a row. Just like last year, the blue and white can play in the Champions League. It is for everyone who cares about Zenit to hope that the team will do better than last season, when despite a favorable draw – with RB Leipzig, Benfica and Olympique Lyon – they did not get further than fourth place. This year, the draw again did not reveal an impossible task. Of course Borussia Dortmund is normally a size too big, but there should be opportunities against Club Brugge and Lazio Roma.

The current season has started the team of trainer Sergey Semak very well. Zenit is the leader in the Premjer-Liga after eleven rounds. Especially in-house Zenit is very strong. All five league matches of this season were turned into wins. Looking at all competitions, we have to go back to November last year for the last home defeat of the team. In the Champions League, RB Leipzig was too strong at the time, 0-2. Last weekend, Zenit won 3-1 against Sochi, in a game in which some basic powers were given a rest. They will probably return to Semak’s starting eleven on Tuesday.

Club Brugge:

We can also admire Club Brugge in this edition of the Champions League. The team was declared champion last year, in the aborted Jupiler League season. There was a lot to be said for this, because Club Brugge had a street-length ahead of the competition when the season ended. After nine games in the new season, the team from Bruges are again the leader of the list. Last Saturday, Club drew 1-1 in the away match against Standard Liège.

Three players who participated in the match in Liège have now heard after a positive corona test that they must be quarantined. The absence of first goalkeeper Simon Mignolet in particular is a loss for Blauw-Zwart. Ethan Horvath is normally the replacement for the former Liverpool goalkeeper. "We are going to Zenit with a good feeling,” Ruud Vormer was optimistic despite the problems. ‘Of course there are some important guys who have to stay at home, but we are going to do everything we can to score points there.’
