The Match Is Over. Score:
3-1
Zenit Petersburg v Rosenborg Predictions for Thursday's 6.00pm kick-off Europa League group fixture facing Russian Premier League hosts Zenit Petersburg and Norway Eliteserien side Rosenborg at Krestovsky Stadium. Zenit bulldozed their way through last year’s group stage, winning 5 and losing just once, whilst scoring 17 goals in the process.
Rosenborg qualified for the group stages by surprisingly beating last year’s finalists, Ajax.
Zenit striker Alexandr Kokorin is enjoying a great start to the season. He is the top scorer in the Russian league with 8 goals in 12 matches, and joint top scorer in the Europa League (EL) with 4 goals in 2 matches, netting twice in both matches.
Zenit have yet to receive a single booking in the group stage so far, Rosenborg have accrued 3.
Rosenborg are coasting to victory in the Norwegian league, but must be considered the underdog here: Zenit have roughly 10X the budget that the Norwegian outfit has.
The Norwegian side will look to their star striker, ‘Lord’ Nicklas Bendtner, to serve up the goods in Europe. The great dane has 15 goals in 25 matches domestically this season, and a lot of experience on the European stage: 52 matches and 15 goals in the Champions League and EL.
