Udinese is the last remaining italian team in the europeen competitions. The friulans have won the first game 2-0 which is very important for them as the other team is none else then last year's Uefa cup winners Zenit Saint Petersburg.
The russians are very strong at home and also the cold weather won't make things more easy for the italian side.
Still the result of the first game should give some confidence to Udinese as they could even lose with one or even two goals difference (if they manage to score in this case) and still go to the next round.
One thing is certain: Udinese is not going to Russia to lose or to make a draw but with the determination to win or to score at least, which is confermed also by their "bomber" Fabio Quagliarella who says "We want to score immediately". So there certainly is some optimism to stay in the competition and to continue the european adventure for Udinese and thursday evening surely all italians will
support the black and white who are the country's last hope in the european competitions.
I think that Udinese will manage to go to the next round, but they will lose in Russia, my tipp therefore is
1, home victory for Zenit.
The best odd is to be found at
Betsson with 2,38.
