Match Preview

Zenith will welcome Fenerbahçe to the Krestovsky Stadium on Thursday with the aim of avenging last week's defeat in Turkey. The Russians shot themselves in the foot in the first leg of the Round of 32 tie by squandering a spot-kick that would have tied the game at one-all ahead of the second leg.

With the encounter still very much open, Sergey Semark's men – with the city's cold weather to its advantage – will hope to capitalize on the visitor's atypical form this season and inability to perform in low temperature to secure progression.

Fenerbahçe, despite enjoying multiple successes in recent times, come into the Europa clash with a dreadful away form that has seen it register just two road victories all season. Five of the team's last defeats in the last eight outings have come outside its home grounds.

Relatively, Zenith, who emerged the victor in seven of its last eight home matches before the winter break, has recorded five wins in its last five Europa league home matches.

What is the form of Zenith in contrast to Fenerbahçe's?

Zenith approaches Thursday's clash on the back of the defeat to the visitors. The Russians have been quite impressive in their last run of matches, registering three wins and a draw in their last five outings.

Before the purple patch, Zenith was on a five-game losing streak which stretched from the beginning of December 2018 to the latter days of January. Comparatively, Fenerbahçe has not done match to be adjudged the clear favorites for the upcoming tie.

The men in yellow and navy-blue have also recorded three wins and a draw in their last five outings but have just four over the last 10 in all competitions.
