Zenit St Petersburg host Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League at the Saint-Petersburg Stadium on Tuesday. Dortmund have qualified for the knockout round but are still fighting for first place in their group whilst Zenit St Petersburg have nothing but pride to play for.

Zenit St Petersburg Form


Zenit St Petersburg have had a very poor Champions League campaign with four defeats and one draw in their five matches.

Zenit lost at home to Club Brugge and Borussia Dortmund away to get their Champions League campaign underway. That was followed by a 1-1 draw at home to Lazio, before losing the return leg 3-1 against the Italians.

Their last Champions League match ended in a 3-0 defeat at Club Brugge. 

In the Russian Premier League, Zenit St Petersburg are five matches unbeaten. In their last match, Zenit beat Ural 5-1 as Sardar Azmoun scored a hattrick while Artem Dzyuba and Douglas Santos got one goal each.

Zenit St Petersburg Team News


Zenit St Petersburg should welcome back Dejan Lovren at centre-back after illness. That would be a big boost as Dmitri Chistyakov is ineligible for UEFA Champions league action in central defence.

Zenit have a clean bill of health otherwise.

Borussia Dortmund Form


Dortmund were on a run on six wins in seven matches in all competitions with just a solitary defeat to Bayern Munich. That run included three wins in the Champions League as they beat Zenit St Petersburg 2-0 at home and Club Brugge 3-0 home and away.

The Germans' only defeat in the Champions League group stage came in the first gameweek where they went down 3-1 at Lazio.

In their last match Dortmund drew 1-1 away at Eintracht Frankfurt with Gio Reyna equalising in the second half.
