ZENIT vs REAL MADRID (CHAMPIONS LEAGUE)

Zenit will, in their first home match in the Champions League, look to impress. They lost unluckily to a crazy free kick against Juve, and will look to get their first points in the Champions League. Coming into this match on the back of a 3-0 win over Lokomotiv Moscow, they should be high on confidence and they do have a full strength squad. Real, on the other hand, haven't hit top gear and have looked out of sorts in their past few matches (bar the 7-1 trashing of sporting gijon, who are SHIT). Real haven't had the best away form too, and will be missing Guti, Gago, Sneijder, Salgado and Metzelder, although they do welcome back Cannavaro. Russia is a tough place to visit, and I fancy Zenit to get at least a point here.

Roland's prediction: $5 on Zenit +0/0.5 @ 1.8 = $9
