Zenit will go through if they beat Benfica and Lyon do not beat Leipzig in France, or if both games are drawn due to their head-to-head superiority over Lyon, or regardless if Lyon lose. • Benfica have four points and are unable to finish in the top two. They will finish third if they beat Zenit by a scoreline better than 3-1 and Lyon do not lose, or if they win by any score and Lyon lose to Leipzig. Previous meetings • Before Zenit's win on Matchday 2, each side had recorded three victories – two at home and one away – in the teams' previous six meetings, with both Zenit and Benfica scoring seven goals. • The clubs crossed paths in the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League round of 16, Benfica winning 1-0 at home and 2-1 away. • The Portuguese side had also come out on top when the teams met at the same stage of the 2011/12 competition, recovering from a 3-2 loss in Russia to go through thanks to a 2-0 victory in Lisbon. • Zenit, however, held the upper hand in the 2014/15 UEFA Champions League group stage; they were 2-0 winners in Lisbon on Matchday 1 before a 1-0 home success on Matchday 5. They finished third in the section, with Benfica fourth. Form guide Benfica • Benfica have won only three of their last 18 matches in the UEFA Champions League, group stage to final (D2 L13), the most recent victory having come against Lyon on Matchday 3 (2-1) in their last home fixture. They looked set for another win last time out when they led 2-0 at Leipzig as the game moved into the 90th minute, only for the home side to strike twice late on and salvage a draw that took the German side through while ending Benfica's hopes of further progress. • Benfica have lost their other three games in this season's competition, going down 2-1 at home to Leipzig and 3-1 in Lyon in addition to their defeat at Zenit. • In 2018/19 Benfica finished third behind Bayern München and Ajax in Group E, moving into the UEFA Europa League having picked up seven points. They went on to beat Galatasaray (2-1 aggregate) and Dinamo Zagreb (3-1 aggregate) only to succumb to Eintracht Frankfurt on away goals in the quarter-finals (4-2 h, 0-2 a). • Benfica have been defeated in 15 of their last 28 European fixtures. • The first leg against Eintracht last season and the Matchday 3 win against Lyon in the current campaign are the only times Benfica have scored more than one goal in normal time in 17 European games in Lisbon, managing just 17 in total during that sequence. • The Eagles have lost only two of their last ten European home matches (W5 D3). • Benfica have lost twice at home to Russian teams (W5 D2), those two losses coming in their last three matches. Home and away, they have suffered three successive defeats against Russian opponents. • Champions of Portugal for a record 37th time last season, Benfica are in the group stage for the 15th time, although only five of those campaigns have extended into the last 16; they also reached the quarter-finals direct in 1994/95.

  • The Business World of Russian Football
    THESIS – BACHELOR'S DEGREE PROGRAMME SOCIAL SCIENCES, BUSINESS AND ADMINISTRATION THE BUSINESS WORLD OF RUSSIAN FOOTBALL Issues and Prospects AUTHOR : Roman Andreev LI17SP SAVONIA UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES THESIS Abstract Field of Study Social Sciences, Business and Administration Degree Programme Degree Programme in Business and Administration Author Roman Andreev Title of Thesis The Business World of Russian Football. Issues and Prospects Date 10.12.2020 Pages/Appendices 70/0 Client Organisation /Partners Abstract Beyond any doubt, football, known as soccer in North America, remains to be one of the most influential sport games in the history of humanity. Up to this day, soccer continues to captivate billions of sports enthu- siasts all over the globe. Football has achieved great recognition, and it is now considered the most popular sport in the world. Nowadays it is appropriate and entirely justified to talk about the emergence of the foot- ball industry. Basically, modern soccer can be viewed as an international business, since global player trans- fers are made on a regular basis and international professional tournaments are organized. Moreover, soccer leagues may be now rightfully classified as separate commercialized industries. Certain football tournaments perform much better than their competitors in a business sense. In this work, the Russian Premier League in particular is discussed. The aim of the study is to investigate the historic and current issues of Russian soccer, the reasons for their emergence, and the present state. Furthermore, the commercial prospects and possibilities for local football’s business development are inspected. Potential solu- tions to the outlined problems are demonstrated as well.
