Monaco will welcome Zenit from St. Petersburg tomorrow with the ambition to win a place in the round of XNUMX of the Champions League, and a draw will be enough for them.
Monaco, which in the previous round surprisingly defeated Bayer from Leverkusen away from home, will have the opportunity in front of its fans to win a place in the round of XNUMX.
On the other hand, Zenit needs a win to get to the next stage of the competition. The Russian team has triumphed only once on French soil - they beat Olympique de Marseille in the 2005-2006 season.
Monaco will not be able to count on Ricardo Carvalho, who is suspended, while Zenit will not have Alexander Kerzhakov available.
In the second match of Group C, Benfica and Bayer Leverkusen will meet.
The Portuguese team has no chance of qualifying for the next stage of the competition, while Bayer has already qualified, and for the first place in the group they will need a win or if they play a draw and Monaco does not beat Zenit.
Bayer is first in the group with nine, Monaco has eight, Zenit seven, and Benfica is at the back with four points.
