Massimo Donatti scored in the dying seconds of the game between Celtic and สล็อตออโต้ Donetsk last ight to give the Celts a 2-1 win and keep them in with a real chance of making the last 16.
Tonight is the turn of the UEFA Cup to take centre stage in the next round of group games. The game I am going for tonight is the clash between newly crowned Russian Champions Zenit St Petersburg and Nurnburg who are 16th in the German league at present. These 2 teams are in the same group as Everton, AZ of Holland and Larissa of Greece.
Despite the seeming gap in class between the 2 sides as far as league position is concerned Zenit are best price 4/6 with Bet365 for the win, which as long as the Zenit players have not celebrated to hard after their Championship success is for me good value.
The Russians have played 2 games in the group so far drawing 1-1 at home to AZ and winning 3-2 in Greece against Larissa so with 3 teams moving forward from each Group a win tonight should see them qualify with a game to spare.
Nurnburg have only played one game in the group so far which ended in a 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Everton, but I find it hard to see them getting anything out of tonight’s encounter.
Zenit boast a proud home record in the league this season of won 10 drawn 4 and lost 1 scoring 28 and conceding 14 the only home defeat they have suffered came against eventual league runners up Spartak who won 3-1 back in March.
Their end of season form was also impressive with 5 wins and 1 defeat in their last 6 a record only bettered by CSKA.
Nurnburg on the other hand are struggling in the Bundesliga after finishing a highly creditable 6th last season. They find themselves 1 place and 3 points off the drop zone and the UEFA Cup must take second place to top flight survival.
Their away league form does not offer much in the way of encouragement as it reads won 1 drawn 2 lost 4 scored 8 and conceded 15. The one away victory was back in August against fellow strugglers Hansa Rostock when they won 2-1.
Add the fact that in their last 6 games they have 2 wins and 4 defeats with all 3 road trips in that period ending in defeat and the price for a Zenit win tonight looks generous in my opinion.
The only note of caution is that this will be Zenit`s first competitive match since they won the Russian title on the 11th of November so there is the possibility of a bit of “ring rust†but personally I find that unlikely.
So for me a Zenit win at 4/6 and just a note that the match kicks off at 16:00 GMT so if you are considering a punt get on early.
Good luck as always,
