Europa League Zenit St Petersburg vs Molde

One of the interesting duels in the Europa League play-off will be one of the Zenit Russian group and the Norwegians of Molde.

The difference in value between the two is enormous, for example, according to specialized sites, Zenit’s market value is nearly 150 million, while Molde has a lot worth only 11.4 miles but nothing is impossible, the Norwegians are the ones with much greater stability and continuity on the bench, the former big footballer Ole Gunnar Solskjaer being named manager almost three years ago, unlike Sergey Semak, who has only three months on the Russian bench.

In addition, Molde might feel motivated further after seeing that in the previous round a more modest team was so close to eliminating Zenit, they qualify for the extensions and the end of a extremely spectacular match that ended 8-1. In the Belarusian tournament on the field of Dinamo Minsk, the Russian group lost 4-0, but demonstrated how strong it is on the field. It was Zenit’s first Premier League match, coming after a very good run in the Premier League in Russia where he is the leader with a maximum of points after four rounds.

Molde entered much warmer in this match, disputing another three preliminary tours and leaving behind, not at all emotionally, teams like the Glenavon North Indians after 6-3 in the general (Glenavon’s victory in the tour match, score 2-1) , Albanians from Laci after winning in both hocks and 5-0 in general or Hibernian scots from 3-0 in general. Molde is already in the second half of the season in Eliteserien and after 19 rounds he is ranked fourth in the league, having the best attack of the championship with 39 goals scored.
