 UEFA Cup: OM v FC Zenit Preview
Admin (Mon-Pari-Sportif.com) - Back to the UEFA Cup, with this encounter between Eric Gerets’ OM and Dick Advocaat’s Zenit, yet another Russian opponent for the Velodrome side, having already faced Spartak Moscow in the previous round. A gulf already visible between the two sides and it’s at action level, as Marseille are fully busy with domestic and European action, while their Russian opponents have only played two competitive games in 2008, in the UEFA Cup. Marseille will need to be wary of Advoccat’s men, the Russians having proved more than capable of advancing in the European competition, to Villarreal’s despair, the Spaniards left crucified by an away goal from in-form scorer Pogrebnyak back in Spain. The souther side will have to do without Lorik Cana tonight (suspension),while the same faith will apply to Djibril Cissé, Samir Nasri, Mamadou Niang and goalie Mandanda, should they pick up an additional yellow card today. Likewise, Shirokov and Sirl are both suspended for the visitors. Verdict: I don’t see Marseille fail here. They are at the top of their game in Ligue 1, and really looking confident. Niang and Cisse will hurt Zenit, but l’OM’s defense will need to watch carefully pocket-size Andreï Arshavin and giant Pogrebnyak upfront. Revenge time for Marseille, who were booted out of the very same competition by Zenit in 2006. Asian Handicap -1.0 on Marseille @ 2.10.
