BENFICA TO QUALIFY!
Final result: 0 - 1Profit: 15.03 - 9 = 6.03
The Russian side has a huge handicap here because their internal competition is on a break and the fact that are without official matches will mean big problems for Zenit in the second half of both encounters.
Agree Zenit is a force in Russia and has managed several decent results in Europe also and has several decent players but Benfica is the better side here.
Remember that Benfica has eliminated Manchester United and on top of that is on first place in the internal competition a competition that has good chance to win.
Benfica is doing very good at this moment and facing a team that is without matches will help them a lot and the skilled players of Jorge Fernando Pinheiro de Jesus should make the difference here.
Benfica to advance in the next stage!

The clash on the Petrovsky stadium's frozen pitch on Wednesday is the Russians' first appearance in the latter stages of the competition, where they have to make do without
strikers Miguel Danny, Danko Lazovich and Alexander Bukharov.
The most important loss for Spalletti is that of Portuguese playmaker Danny, who will be out of action until October after tearing a cruciate ligament in training.
The recent return of the club's top scorer Alexander Kerzhakov eases Spalletti's concerns to a degree, but the team is also weakened in midfield with Roman Shirokov unlikely to start due to a leg injury; and in defense, with Italian leftback Domenico Criscito out with a stomach infection.
Benfica, meanwhile, are missing holding midfielder Javi Garcia through injury, though coach Jorge Jesus has Uruguayan defender Maxi Pereira back.
Goalkeeper Vyacheslav Malafeev is also a doubt after missing Tuesday's training session with a calf injury.

Agree with the frozen pitch but take into consideration the fact that Zenit has played and trained in Europe in last weeks because of the break in Russian internal competition and no matter what the pitch is and the fact that home side is more sued to play under such heavy conditions the value is on Benfica when it comes to take the two legs.
I will post another bet today regarding this match.

In this fixture I would also remember the weather conditions. It´s goint to be -18 degrees in St.Petersburg tomorrow! That is not good thing for Benfica, I think. I think Zenit will benefit more from the awful cold weather at Petrovsky stadium. It is goint to very difficult to get point from this away game for Benfica.
