Champions League :Zenit St Petersburg vs Benfica

Group C has become an interesting and fun set of clubs as we head in to the final two matchdays of the group stage. German side Bayer Leverkusen are out in front with nine points, but they have yet to secure qualification because their opponents later on Wednesday, AS Monaco, are only four points behind them. Right on Monaco's heels are the two teams facing off today, Russian power Zenit St. Petersburg and defending Portuguese champions Benfca.

Match Details:

Champions League :Zenit St. Petersburg vs. Benfica

26 November ,  2014

                                                           Petrovsky Stadion , at 17:00 GMT

 

These two sides are tied at four points apiece in the group, meaning that today's match has potentially huge implications as to the final standings of the group. Either side could vault their way up to the second qualification spot with a win today if Monaco fail to beat Leverkusen. In the reverse of this fixture, at Benfica in September, Zenit won 2-0; can they repeat that achievement, or can Benfica also play road spoiler?
