Match Preview | |
Chelsea will face Zenit in the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League group H opener which will take place at Stamford Bridge, Wednesday (15/09/2021) at 12:30 midnight Indian time.
In this group H, Chelsea and Zenit are joined together with Juventus and Malmo.
Chelsea is in good shape ahead of this match. Last weekend, the Blues managed to win over Aston Villa in the English Premier League through a Romelu Lukaku brace and a Mateo Kovacic goal.
Thanks to this victory, Chelsea are now recorded without being touched by defeat even in their last 9 matches in all competitions (W7 D2 L0).
Meanwhile, just like Chelsea, Zenit is also in good form ahead of this match. Zenit last weekend successfully won over Akhmat Grozny in the Russian Premier League through goals from Wendel, Alexandr Erokhin, and Malcolm.
Thanks to this victory, Zenit is now unbeaten in their last 20 matches in all competitions (W14 D6 L0).
Chelsea and Zenit themselves have never met before in any event. This match will be the first meeting between the two teams.
If you judge in terms of quality, Chelsea will clearly be more favored over Zenit in this match. Moreover, this match will also take place in front of Chelsea supporters.
However, Chelsea still has to be vigilant considering that Zenit comes with a very good performance at this time.
