Celtic vs Zenit (Predictions, Preview, Picks, Tips, Odds)

The visitors are stronger as a team and normally they should eliminate Celtic no matter how hard Celtic try. There is zero chance Zenit will be impressed by home advantage as the guests have a knack of winning away from home in European competitions. Celtic are nothing that special both due to insufficient funding for the final phase of the tournament and weak local league and unless the hosts produce something extraordinary tonight they will probably lose. At this stage of the competition there is little mercy and if the hosts show defensive weaknesses as I suspect Zenit will not be shy to explore them to the max. In the played friendlies Zenit were very solid and ruthless and I expect not that unsimilar production against a quality inferior team.
