Preview
Malmo comes into this after a 1-0 home loss to Chelsea in their previous UCL clash on MD 4, where Ziyech scored the only goal of the contest.
This loss ensured Malmo’s knockout from the UEFA Champions League this season having picked up 1 point from 4 matches.
They play their last 2 fixtures for pride hoping to do well and gain valuable experience from this season.
On the other hand, Zenit lost 4-2 away to Juventus in their previous clash on MD 4, but still have an outside chance to seal qualification to the next round.
Bonucci’s own goal and Azmoun’s late strike pulled things back for Zenit after Dybala’s brace, Chiesa and Morata’s strikes put Juventus in a comfortable position.
However, Zenit hopes Chelsea lose to Juventus in their clash to remain alive in the competition.
Both sides last met on MD 2, where Zenit beat Malmo 4-0 at home.
