Benfica – Zenit

The beginning of League we will see very interesting match between Benfica and Zenit. I must say that I was surprised by this high odds on a game that both teams will score, because what else to expect in this game than goals because both teams play attacking football and I sincerely hope that it will show and tonight.

Benfica last year was defeated finalists of the Europa League and really seem to be really cursed, because they are just can not to win a European trophy. This year, again, they tend to peak and slightly changed their team but all in all theirs key players remained. In the group with Monaco, Leverkusen and Zenit, for me this is a very strong group, because they are all quite similar teams of the same quality. Benfica this year playing with two strikers and another 3 midfielders who are joining and will probably match at home to play more offensive than away. Andre Almeida is suspended, while Silvio questionable.

Zenit on Saturday beat Dinamo team that it is only at this time could stop and it seems that this year in Russia, according to the so far demonstrated they will be the leaders of the Russian League. They bought Javi Garcia and Ezeqiel Garay two great players in their league and also have a team that is very offensive to the three attackers. Hulk and Danny are the creators of this team and look forward to in this game make a lot of trouble defending the host.

I expect a fast and open game, which means we should see at least one goal on both sides until the final outcome of this match would not have dared to predict
