livetipster

FOOTBALLPREVIEWS

Benfica is hosting Zenit a few days after they were defeated at home to rivals Porto (1-2). Mitroglou scored early in the game, but the Dragons got away with all 3 points. Sporting is 3 points clear while Porto stepped closer, 3 points behind the Eagles. Benfica’s old boys, Witsel, Garay and Javi Garcia, all return to Lisbon with a Zenit side that have not played for two months.

Possible lineup
Benfica: Júlio César; André Almeida, Jardel, Lindelöf, Eliseu; Samaris, Renato Sanches, Pizzi, Gaitán; Mitroglou, Jonas.
Out: Luisão (broken arm), Rebocho (ankle), Nuno Santos (unspecified), Fejsa (unspecified), Lisandro López (thigh)
Misses next match if booked: Luisão, Jardel, André Almeida, Gonçalo Guedes

Bet live on Benfica v Zenit at bet365 > Live In-Play

Zenit have not played a competitive game since losing to Gent on 9 December. That was the only loss in the group stage after winning the first 5 matches. The next domestic game for Andre Vilas Boas’ team is versus Kuban Krasnodar for the Russian Cup on 28 February.

Possible lineup
Zenit: Lodygin; Anyukov, Garay, Lombaerts, Criscito; Javi García, Witsel, Shatov, Danny; Hulk, Dzyuba.
Out: Fayzulin (knee), Malafeev (unspecified), Smolnikov (groin), Ryazantsev (unspecified)
Misses next match if booked: Domenico Criscito, Javi García, Artur Yusupov, Danny, Hulk

This could be a close game. With Luisao missing, Benfica will try harder not to concede than to score. Benfica and Zenit have good attacking players and to back both teams to score could be an option. We will stick with the draw that pays 3.50 at bet365.
