Previous meetings • The sides' only fixtures before this season came in the 1987/88 UEFA Cup first round. Zenit were 2-0 winners in the home first leg but Club Brugge wiped that out with a 5-0 victory back in Belgium, Kenneth Brylle Larsen doing most of the damage with four goals. Form guide Zenit • Zenit claimed their seventh USSR/Russian league title in 2019/20, and their second in a row; their last six triumphs have all come from 2007 onwards. They also added the Russian Cup to complete the club's second domestic double. • This is the St Petersburg outfit's eighth UEFA Champions League group campaign; they reached the round of 16 in 2011/12, 2013/14 and 2015/16 but have never progressed further. • In 2019/20, Zenit finished fourth in their section, behind RB Leipzig, Lyon and Benfica despite picking up seven points from their six matches. It was their earliest European exit since 2009/10, when they were eliminated in the UEFA Europa League play-offs. • The St Petersburg team have won only three of their last 11 European matches (D1 L7). • Zenit have also recorded only two victories in their last nine UEFA Champions League games (D1 L6). • Zenit's last fixtures with a Belgian club came in the 2016/17 UEFA Europa League round of 32, the Russian club bowing out to Anderlecht on away goals having lost 2-0 in Belgium before a 3-1 home success in which they conceded in the 90th minute. • That home win did extend Zenit's perfect record against Belgian visitors in their own stadium – they have won all seven contests, scoring 17 goals and conceding only three. Club Brugge • Club Brugge are in the group stage for the third year in a row, the first time they have achieved that feat; it is their eighth UEFA Champions League group appearance overall. They have never progressed to the knockout rounds. • In 2019/20, the Belgian side finished third behind Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid in Group A, picking up three points (D3 L3). It was the second year running they had finished third in their group. • They went on to lose to Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 (1-1 h, 0-5 a). • Club Brugge have won only one of their last 18 fixtures in the UEFA Champions League proper (D6 L11). • Philippe Clement's side claimed Club Brugge's 16th Belgian league title in 2019/20, and third in the last five seasons. • Club Brugge have not played a Russian club in European competition since 2002, when they picked up one point from their two games against Lokomotiv Moskva (0-0 h, 0-2 a) in the UEFA Champions League first group stage. • That loss at Lokomotiv in November 2002 made it four defeats from four matches in Russia for Club Brugge; they have scored only once in those games, conceding eight goals. The Belgian side's only win in an away fixture against a Russian team came in Berlin, where they beat CSKA Moskva 2-1 in the inaugural UEFA Champions League group stage in 1992/93. Links and trivia • Have played together: Dejan Lovren & Simon Mignolet (Liverpool 2014–19) Yaroslav Rakits'kyy & Eduard Sobol (Shakhtar 2013–14) Sebastián Driussi & Éder Balanta (River Plate 2011–16) • Lovren and Mignolet were members of Liverpool's victorious 2018/19 UEFA Champions League squad. • Driussi and Balanta were both in the River side that won the Copa Sudamericana in 2014 and the Copa Libertadores the following year. • International team-mates: Yaroslav Rakits'kyy & Eduard Sobol (Ukraine) 4 FC Zenit - Club Brugge Tuesday 20 October 2020 - 18.55CET (19.55 local time) Match press kit Saint Petersburg Stadium, St Petersburg Wílmar Barrios & Éder Balanta (Colombia) Dejan Lovren & Matej Mitrović (Croatia) • Mignolet conceded three goals in Belgium's 3-3 friendly draw against Russia in March 2017; Zenit's Magomed Ozdoev and Aleksandr Erokhin appeared for the hosts. • Emmanuel Bonaventure scored against Shakhtar for Zorya Luhansk in the Ukrainian Premier League on 2 April 2017; despite Rakits'kyy's red card, the visitors still won 2-1. Latest news Zenit • Summer transfers In: Dejan Lovren (Liverpool), Wendel (Sporting) Out: Branislav Ivanović (West Brom), Igor Smolnikov (Krasnodar), Oleg Shatov (Rubin), Aleksandr Kokorin (Spartak Moskva), Emanuel Mammana (Sochi, loan), Emiliano Rigoni (Elche) • Zenit are on a run of six domestic games without a loss (W3 D3).

  • Ligue 1 Guide 2021/22
    2021/2022 Ligue 1 Preview Guide INTRODUCTION After a historically close title race that saw four teams in the running Ligue 1 is back with no small amount of fanfare following a busy summer. Of those four sides, while Lille and Lyon have been relatively quiet as they try to consolidate under new managers, Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain have been eager participants in the mercato, buying well in a way that addresses the two sides’ needs. Nice and Rennes have also done some canny business in the offseason, to say nothing of Marseille’s flood of arrivals, but the discussions about pro- spective title favorites in France have to start and end with the capital side. Even as rumors swirl around the potential departure of Kylian Mbappé, it’s hard to argue that Paris Saint-Ger- main haven’t done their utmost to convince their young star to stay. At least, that is, if one judges by their transfer activity. The arrivals of Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Achraf Hakimi have bolstered Mauricio Pochettino’s side in key areas whilst also adding another layer of dynamism. If he can keep his squad happy and balanced, this team looks as potent as any in Europe, Elsewhere, Monaco are probably best-equipped to challenge, even as they will have to contend with playing European football. The arrivals of Myron Boadu, Alexander Nübel and Ismail Jakobs look to be upgrades, and so long as Niko Kovac’s exciting, front-foot football remains in place and so do all of its key elements.
