Zenit has no tournament motivation. The Russian champion has secured a place in the Europa League. Chelsea also solved the main task - to make the playoffs, but there is also a secondary task - to finish in first place in the group to avoid a difficult opponent in the 1/8 finals. Chelsea will not play this match without motivation also because they suffered a ridiculous defeat to West Ham in the APL at the weekend. Thomas Tuchel's charges will want to get back on the winning track. Rotation of the squad is possible, but the German will definitely involve several key players. That should be enough to win. Bookmakers rate Zenit's chances of a goal quite high. In fact, this scenario is not so obvious. The Russian team plays very cautiously in European competitions. For Zenit, the situation is complicated by a tight rotation and a complicated calendar. In any case, the team needs to save their strength for one of the decisive encounters of the season in the RPL with Dynamo.
