Benfica v Zenit Predictions
Benfica were in tremendous form before their defeat to rivals Porto on Friday night but are still scoring a bag full of goal in recent weeks including six, five and four in their last three away matches. This scoring power will strike fear into Zenit St Petersburg and although it’s a different tournament and quality of opposition, Benfica’s talent in front of goal could be enough to get them a first leg lead.
Zenit did really well in qualifying, winning their first five matches before losing the last 2-1 at Gent when top spot was already assured and they certainly have the ability to at least get an away goal in this Champions League last 16 first leg fixture.
My first Benfica v Zenit prediction for the Champions League last 16 is both teams to score and the best odds are 13/12 at 888Sport.

Benfica had won their last 11 matches before defeat to Porto and the odds for them to beat Zenit St Petersburg are 11/10 at Sky Bet. You won’t find a team at odds against after a record like that very often so I have to tip up Benfica to win for my next Champions League prediction on Benfica v Zenit.

For my final bet I’m looking at an anytime goalscorer tip and Benfica’s star man Jonas has scored an incredible 23 goals in 21 league matches this season including four in his last three. He’s only got one in the Champions League but I’m betting on him to add to that tally against Zenit in the last 16 first leg.
My Benfica v Zenit St Petersburg betting tip for an anytime goalscorer is Jonas and the odds for him to score are 28/17 at 888Sport.
