Malmo vs Zenit. Will Semak's charges take three points away?
On November 23, within the 5th round of the Champions League group round, at the Eleda sports arena (Malmö), the teams of Malmö and Zenit will compete against each other.
Malmö frankly failed this European campaign, the team lost all four matches. In the last round, Yon-Dahl Tomasson's charges on their territory lost with a minimum score of 0: 1 to Chelsea. "Sky Blue" could not offer anything to the "aristocrats", the Swedes tried to at least contain the attack of the guests, but the British were head and shoulders above. Malmö remains the last in the group, the team has no points, the difference between goals scored and conceded is 0:12.
But on the domestic arena, the “sky-blue” act much more convincingly, in the last meeting the team drew at home with Hecken 2: 2.
Zenit
Zenit practically said goodbye to the chances for the playoffs, in the last match the Petersburgers lost 2: 4 to Juventus on the road. The “blue-white-blue” held out well only in the first half, when they managed to keep a draw on the scoreboard. After the break, Sergei Semak's guys lost concentration, allowing the Italians to run far into the lead. Azmun scored a goal for the anti-aircraft gunners, Bonucci accidentally cut another ball into his own net. Zenit takes 3rd place in Group H, gaining 3 points, with a goal difference of 6: 6.
In the Russian championship, Semak's wards have no equal, they are the leaders of the table. Last weekend, Nizhny Novgorod was defeated at home 5: 1.
