The first leg of this game gathered so much buzz because of the attacking style of these teams. However, they both failed to really get going in the first leg until the second half when Leipzig raced to a 2-0 lead. Zenith fought back but they were only able to get a consolation goal and they now have some work to do to get a win while avoiding a goal from the Germans. Zenith would prioritise the Europa League now as they have fallen to the fifth position in the Russian League after drawing against Rostov the last time out. They have a good home form anyway as they have won 11 of their last 16, with only 3 of those ending in a loss. They have won every single European game this season. Leipzig have 3 losses, 2 draws and a win in their last 6 matches to leave themselves 6th in the Bundesliga table. They have also won only 3 of their last 11 away games so far, losing five and conceding 18 goals. They have been involved in over 2.5 goals scored in 7 of those 11 games.

While Besiktas defied the odds to get this far in the Champions League, this seems to be the end of the road for them after they were humbled 5-0 at the Allianz Arena a forth night ago. Since that first leg routing, they have commendably gone on a run of four games without a defeat, winning 3 of them. Although it is almost impossible for them to overturn their first-leg deficit in this game, they would be looking to show the rest of the world what they can do at home when they have the complete 11 players for 90 minutes. Bayern Munich are a world apart these days. The Bavarians wallopped Hamburger 6-0 at the weekend to make it 19 games without a loss, 18 of which have been wins. They are now 20 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga and in Robert Lewandoski, they have an attacker every football fan wishes play for their team. The Pole score a Hattrick at the weekend to make it 28 goals in 30 games so far this season. They have 8 away matches on the trot and they would be taking that form to Turkey hoping to come back victors yet again.
