Real Betis to win the game
Real Betis continue to lay down the market with a fantastic run of form that has seen them pick up four consecutive victories in all competitions. Even though Zenit St Petersburg also have been winning a lot of games in recent weeks, playing away from home in Europe has always not been Zenit’s biggest strength. The last away success for Zenit in the Europa League was in 2017.
Total goals over 2.5
Zenit St Petersburg proved that they are no pushovers in the first leg after managing to come back from a 2-0 deficit. Even if the Russian outfit went on to lose the match, the offensive threat of Zenit is a big problem for Real Betis in this home game. An early advantage for Zenit could through the plans in disarray.
Both teams to score – yes
Zenit St Petersburg might be at the top of the tree in the Russian league, but they have not kept a clean sheet in three consecutive matches. Real Betis have managed to concede in a remarkable five consecutive games. In Europe, the Spanish team have kept just one clean sheet in the last five.
