RB Leipzig vs Zenit St. Petersburg Match PreviewRB Leipzig:
The bulls have started brilliantly all season. It's hard to say why it is that very little is currently running, but it must be said that they do not play Saxony as bad as the results say. This weakness of the exploitation of the opportunities, which has cost in recent weeks, one or more points.
Thus, RB Leipzig is in the Bundesliga table only in fifth place. There is still being burned, because until the leader Mönchengladbach lost only a single counter. It shows what would be possible if the eleven Julian Nagelsmann also managed to do in recent weeks.
At present, Leipzig has been waiting for a win for four games. At home there last three games draw and two defeats. That balance bulls could not live with. However, it is also the reason why we are in the game between RB Leipzig and Zenit St Petersburg, the low probability bet on a home win can really understand.
Last weekend, VfL Wolfsburg are a guest in Leipzig. For a long time it looked as though RasenBallsport can bring home the victory in this match. Timo Werner brings Saxon shortly after the break in the lead, but Wolfsburg are used in the final stage is still a great opportunity for the 1-1 final score.
For the first time Julian Nagelsmann said to have been really hard as Leipzig coach after the match. With the omission points given in good order.
Therefore, the coach explained that his team was walking after their own claims for the moment. A victory in the premier class could probably only soothing coaches.
We assume that there will be a slight rotation. Nordi Mukiele, Emil Forsberg and Marcel Halstenberg is a candidate for the starting lineup, perhaps even recover Kevin Kampl. Tyler Adams was injured, Ibrahima Konate, Patrick Schick and Hannes Wolf, who could not play in the Bundesliga last time, not part of the game.
Zenit St Petersburg:
Zenit St Petersburg does not sound like a big enemy, but at least since the 2018 soccer World Cup in Russia has experienced a huge increase, it may benefit the club as well. Bayer Leverkusen can sing a song after a home defeat in the premier class against Lokomotiv Moscow.
Zenit strong as Lok, so RB Leipzig should be warned Wednesday. With another home defeat in the Champions League, Saxon will be left behind in the struggle for the knockout stages. However, Zenit St Petersburg have not won the European Cup for ten away games.
Conversely, however, is a good current form of Russia. Of the last ten competitive matches Zenit take eight wins and a draw and only had to give up yet. In the national league, St Petersburg is at the top of the league table after 29 matchdays with 29 points, along with the Lok Moscow.
Saturday, St Petersburg express gala performance. At the peak of the Russian Premier League match Zenit win at home against FK Rostov 6: 1. Once again the central striker Artyom Dzyuba is the winner of the match. After 20 minutes he had made alone to the 2: 0 and increased in the further course of the game to 5: 0.
Serdar Azmoun, Vyacheslav Karavaev and Wilmar Barrios was the other scorer. If eleven of Sergey Semak in Leipzig only roughly match this performance, it would be difficult for the Bulls. In a match between RB Leipzig and Zenit St Petersburg to make a forecast for the away win, we do not consider the rash.
On Wednesday, Russia will be able to compete in the German chapel was nearly full. There is no reason to change the formation of the weekend, especially since nothing happens in case of injury. In addition, only Emmanuel Mammana and Malcom from Barcelona lost. All the other actors that fit.
