Forecast
In the first match, which was played on Portuguese soil, Benfica achieved minimal success with 1: 0, so the hosts will look at any cost goals in today's match to eliminate the Iberians. In general we can conclude that the Russians have all chances to achieve ultimate success and mat the "Eagles" of Lisbon.
André Villas-Boas will not be able to rely on the composition of pitertsi injured Fayzulin and punished Criscito and Javi Garcia, while the composition of visitors also has personnel problems and outs are Jardin and Almeida because of penalties and Lisandro, Cesar and Luizao because of injuries .
If you pay attention to as guests are in much better shape than his opponent and in a series of four consecutive victories, the latter was over Sporting biggest enemy and then as a guest.
The Russians even have achieved only 2 wins in their last 5 games of all competitions.
From 2012 until Zenit and Benfica have faced a total of 5 times, Russians have an advantage with 3 wins against 2 for the Portuguese giants.
Pitertsi are knock for the third time in five seasons, but the team has not come eighth-finals so far. Benfica's turn came to knock for the first time since the 2011/2012 season, as the team was then removed from the Chelsea quarter-finals.
The fact that Zenit won all three households in the group stage favors the team today, and besides, Benfica lost 4 of the last 5 visits to the tournament in the Round.
Our forecast was a success with 2: 0 for the home team and qualify for the next phase of the tournament.
