Here's our Dortmund vs Zenit Prediction analysis: Two sides yet to pick up their first points of the Champions League season will be battling for victory when Borussia Dortmund and Zenit Saint Petersburg lock horns at the Westfalenstadion on Wednesday night. Expected to challenge Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title this season, Dortmund are living up to the bill. Sitting third on the log, they are level on points with the Bavarians but trailing on goal difference. Their current form has been sensational.

With Lucien Favre’s men ticking on and off-the-pitch, they are likely to give defending champions Bayern Munich a run for their money. They will be looking to get their CL journey up and running with a superb result against Zenit this week.

Borussia Dortmund vs Zenit Team News

Having stayed atop the Bundesliga table for large parts of the previous campaign, Borussia Dortmund failed to clinch the league title after falling off the pace towards season-end. Bayern capitalized on Dortmund’s decline to rise to the summit.

Ultimately, the Bavarians prevailed, lifting the round-shaped silverware for the umpteenth time. Now, Die Borussen have another shot at challenging for the league title, and are already off to a blistering start. Perhaps, this could finally be their year!

Last time out, they were in action against strugglers Schalke 04, and recorded an emphatic 3-0 victory over the Royal Blues. Following a drab first-half, Dortmund ran riot after the restart to take the opposition to the cleaners.

For all their brilliance in the German Bundesliga, Dortmund were comfortably dispatched in their opening Champions League fixture against Lazio. Ciro Immobile spearheading the Italians’ attack, Lazio easily strolled to a 3-1 victory on home turf.

Haaland grabbed the sole consolation for Der BVB. With that defeat still very fresh in their memories, Dortmund will be hell-bent on securing victory over Zenit in this upcoming contest. The Russian side have been the best in their country over the past two years.

They finished at the summit of the Russian Premier League standings last season, lifting the league trophy to book a ticket to the group stages of the Champions League. This time around, the Zeniters are having another go at league success.

After 12 games, they sit second on the log, just three points adrift league leaders Spartak Moscow. Last time out in the CL, they were narrowly brushed aside by Belgian side Club Brugge. Sergei Semak’s men will need lady luck on their side to stand any chances against Dortmund here.

Dortmund vs Zenit Predictions

The duo of Haaland and Sancho are a huge threat to any footballing side, and Zenit are unlikely to be spared the brunt of this ruthless forwards. Dortmund will lean heavily on these two to deliver the goods in this fixture.

Zenit are in great form in their domestic league but should struggle against this German side. We fancy the hosts to secure a routine victory, grabbing a couple of goals while at it.
