Dortmund vs Zenit St. Petersburg Free Betting Tips – Champions League 2020
Has the knot burst at BVB?
The discussions at Borussia Dortmund are not ebbing. Is Lucien Favre the right coach? Is Marco Reus still the right captain? Borussia can give the best answers on the pitch, with games won. That is the goal on Wednesday in the Champions League at the home game against Zenit St. Petersburg.
There is no alternative to victory after BVB started the group stage with a defeat at Lazio. Zenit got it worse. The Russians were defeated at home against Club Bruges and are also under pressure. Losing is therefore prohibited on the second game day.
Russian teams are not exactly the Dortmund team’s favourite opponents, as BVB have suffered two defeats in the last three games against teams from the Premier League. Nevertheless, the odds comparison of the betting base suggests that in the match between Dortmund and Zenit St. Petersburg a prediction of a home win is a good choice.
This is also due to the fact that Zenit is not a specialist against Bundesliga clubs. The team from the tsarist city has not won against German clubs in six games. The last win came in 2014, of all places, against BVB. Overall, this is another indication of this, in the match between Dortmund and Zenit. St. Petersburg to place a tip on the black and yellow.
Dortmund – Statistics & current form
Actually, there isn’t that much to complain about at BVB. In the Bundesliga table, Borussia is at the top of the ranking behind Leipzig and Bayern. Lucien Favre’s team is on in the DFB-Pokal and only the bankruptcy against Lazio doesn’t really fit into the season so far.
Borussia has only entered the Champions League once with two defeats, in the 2017/18 season. This supposed negative record does not apply on Wednesday. The well-known bookmakers are encouraging because, in the match between Dortmund and Zenit St. Petersburg, significantly lower odds on a home win are offered.
Broad chest after derby victory
To put it bluntly, BVB can afford to lose to Zenit. After all, the most important game of the year was won at the weekend, when FC Schalke was defeated 3-0 in the Ruhrpottderby. Manuel Akanji, Erling Haaland and Mats Hummels were the goal scorers for Lucien Favre’s team.
BVB’s dropout list for Wednesday’s duel is relatively short. Emre Can be sidelined in Rome after being sent off. Marcel Schmelzer and Dan-Axel Zagadou are also injured. A rotation in the course of the load management can be assumed, however, so that fresh staff can be expected at BVB.
The probable lineup of Dortmund:
↪️ Bürki – Meunier, Akanji, Hummels, Guerreiro – Bellingham, Witsel – Sancho, Reus, Hazard – Haaland
↪️ Coach: Favre

Zenit St. Petersburg – Statistics & current form
Zenit St. Petersburg is celebrating a small anniversary on Wednesday. After Spartak Moscow and CSKA Moscow, the team from the tsarist city is the third Russian team to play the 50th game in the Champions League. Zenit has not uprooted large trees in the process and with a not unlikely defeat on Wednesday, nothing will change that.
With two bankruptcies in their luggage to Dortmund
In the current constitution, there is not much to suggest that Zenit will cause a surprise in Dortmund. In addition to the home defeat on the first matchday against Bruges, Zenit also lost 2-1 at home against Rubin Kazan last weekend. Alexander Erokhin even got the 1-0 lead, but through carelessness, Zenit conceded the second bankruptcy in a row.
In the Premier League, the Russians have lost their top position. Nevertheless, with second and three points behind Spartak Moscow, things are not looking bad. However, Sergej Semak’s team now has to be careful that with another defeat you will end up in a downward spiral.
In the current condition hardly any expert in the duel Dortmund against Zenit St. Petersburg will give a prediction of a guest victory. The Russians will definitely miss two important players. Serdar Azmoun is in isolation after a positive infection test. The Brazilian Malcom is also absent with a knee injury.
The probable lineup of Zenit St. Petersburg:
↪️ Kerzhakov – Karavaev, Lovren, Rakitskiy, Douglas Santos – Barrios, Ozdoev – Kuzyaev, Mostovoy, Driussi – Dzyuba
↪️ Coach: Semak
