On October 20, the match of the third round of the Champions League group stage will take place, in which Russian Zenit will play at home with Italian Juventus. The forecast for this match is given by the former football player of Spartak Moscow, Eduard Mohr.
Unlike last seasons, Zenit now looks quite competitive, and can take away points from the Italian grandee. Of course, this will not be easy to do, but it is quite possible. Massimiliano Allegri is busy rebuilding in Turin right now, and the "old signora" is gradually getting used to playing without Ronaldo.
Juventus has a 5-match winning streak, but they were all won with a one-goal difference, and the last three games ended with the same score 1:0. We can say that the current Turin residents have no margin of safety.
Zenit defeated Malmo (4-0) in the last round of the Champions League, but after that managed to unexpectedly lose twice in a row in the Russian Championship, losing 1-2 to Sochi and Arsenal with the same score. But in the upcoming match, these failures by Sergey Semak's team should be forgotten, and motivation should simply go off scale, because there are real chances to get out of the group.
Eduard Mohr believes that the match will turn out to be "grassroots". The current Juventus is not able to tear apart rivals, and Zenit in matches against the giants will not take risks and rush into the attack with an open visor, waiting for their opportunities on the counterattack. The expert is not able to predict the outcome of the match, considering that this is a duel for three results.
