Matchday 5 in the UEFA Champions League continues on here with a critical match between Lyon and Zenit St. Petersburg. Lyon has been decent so far in this competition and sit on 7 points in second place, while this game represents a must win situation for Zenit as they are in third with 4 points.
The first game between these two in this group ended as a 1-1 draw in what was a very tightly contested match. Given the current odds offered by the bookmakers, we can expect more of the same come Wednesday night.
Lyon
Lyon started their Ligue 1 campaign horribly this year, as they have hovered around the relegation zone for much of the year. They have, however, come on in recent weeks to now sit in 9th in the standings with a 5-4-5 record.
Lyon did win their last game against Nice, but Nice were the much better team and really should have won that game if it hadn’t been for multiple missed chances. This Lyon team remains very disappointing given the talent they have on paper, but advancing to the round of 16 in the Champions League can put a lot of these early season struggles behind them in the minds of fans.

In terms of guys to watch out for here, Moussa Dembele really stands out as he already has 10 Ligue 1 goals in only 13 matches. He will be up against it here, as the Zenit St. Petersburg defense has been stout, but he might just be good enough to make the difference here on Wednesday night.
Zenit St Petersburg
This Zenit team has been awesome in the Russian domestic league this season with a 12-3-2 record which has them currently sitting in first with a 5 point cushion over second place Lokomotiv Moscow. Zenit has not been quite as hot in this competition as they have only managed 1 win in 4 games and have now put themselves in a must win situation on matchday 5.
Zenit should roll out with the same 4-4-2 formation they used to beat Rubin Kazan last week as this Zenit team prefers to keep it simple and play fundamentally sound football. Artem Dzyuba will lead the charge up front and has been on a tear this year with 10 goals and 9 assists and figures to factor in here as the main man for Zenit.
Free Lyon vs Zenit St Petersburg Champions League Prediction:
Traveling to Russia has always been hard for European teams and I see this trend continuing here as Lyon has been underwhelming so far this year. There will be a raucous sell-out crowd awaiting this Lyon team in St Petersburg and I don’t think they have the quality to break down Zenit.
The most important thing for me in going with Zenit is their defense, who has been unreal as they have only allowed 9 goals in 17 games this season and they really should be able to pitch another shutout here on Wednesday night.
