The team of Liverpool has a very difficult visit to Russia. Brendan Rodgers's players will have to give the best of themselves, if they want to continue to the next round in the tournament. As for the matches of English clubs in the Europa League, the teams certainly do not seem to be very motivated and often frustrate their supporters with poor performance. Liverpool, however, is a team with great traditions in the European competitions and it is unlikely that they will approach lightly in this meeting.
In St. Petersburg Zenit haven`t lost a single game to an English team. Every year Zenit shows serious ambitions for success in the European tournaments and in season 2007/2008 the team won the title of the former UEFA Cup and shortly afterwards the UEFA Super Cup. The Russians, however, haven`t played an official match since December last year and their performance in this game is quite curious.
Even one away goals will be of great importance to Liverpool before the next game at "Anfield", where the team plays at a very high level. Zenit in turn, has great attacking power, which will definitely hamper the defense of Liverpool and it is likely that the home team will score at least one goal.
