Lazio vs Zenit St Petersburg

Lazio is currently in second place in the group with 5 points, however only one less than leader Borussia Dortmund. Lazio, despite the great training difficulties they had to endure both in Belgium with Club Brugge and in Russia with Zenit in the last round, brought home an important double 1-1 draw. All good to keep the Belgians at a distance, third with 3 points, and the Russians, last with one point. Last Saturday the team of Simone Inzaghi, on the eighth matchday of Serie A, won 2-0 at Crotone with goals from Immobile and Correa.

On the other hand, there is a Zenit who has just returned from a ‘bitter’ draw against Lazio, conceding the goal of the same guest with Caicedo in the 82nd minute, winning only one point.

Sergej Semak’s side also returned to the pitch this weekend in the Russian Premier League, making it no further than a 2-2 away match against Akhmat Grozny.
