This may not be the game that everyone will rush to for their Champions League fix on Tuesday night but it's a battle of the top sides in Russia and Belgium which could well mean goals given the way both have gone so far.
Brugge top the Belgian league after nine games with 22 goals on the charts; Zenit can top that with 24 although they have played two games more.
Brugge have some selection issues with three players missing after testing positive for Covid-19. First-choice goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, centre-back Odilon Kossounou and forward Michael Krmencik will all miss the trip for matchday one.
Zenit were fancied for success anyway but that makes Brugge's task that bit harder. The hosts have hit 18 goals in their five home league games so far; that is considerably more than any other side in Russia's top flight and most have played one more fixture.
The one plus for Brugge is that they have netted 13 goals in their four away league contests. That sets it up to be a game where we should see the net hit plenty of times. With Zenit odds-on for success in 90 minutes, taking a home win with over 2.5 goals in the contest brings the price to a much better 6/4 across the board.
It's quite open in Group F with Dortmund the one likely to finish top. For that spot in second, it could well become a battle for second but Zenit will fancy their chances. It's worth backing them to get started with victory at home.
Score prediction: Zenit 2-1 Club Brugge ()
Best bet:
Chelsea begin their Champions League campaign following a mixed start to the Premier League season and they face a tough test in a Sevilla side who have experienced plenty of success on the European stage in recent years.
The Spanish club lifted the Europa League title again last season, beating Manchester United and Wolves on their way to the final, and they will be looking for progression in Europe's elite competition. The involvement of Rennes and Krasnodar in Group E suggests that these two clubs will be battling it out for top spot.
The Blues' 3-3 draw with Southampton on Saturday is probably the best result to sum up the Frank Lampard era at Stamford Bridge. A team who have invested heavy in the attack but left the defence as an afterthought; that is holding them back from being serious contenders in any competition.
Sevilla have also endured a tough start in LaLiga but we can't completely disregard their odds of 13/5 for victory here. There's a number of bets that look appealing in favour of the away side but the best route looks to be backing their total shots figure to hit 12 over the 90 minutes.
Sevilla sit third in LaLiga when it comes to average shots per game. The 12.8 posted by them is bettered only by the two main Madrid clubs and they may be left disappointed by the fact that they don't have more than five on their tally after five games.
Best bet:
PSG are Sporting Life's outright selection for success in the Champions League this season and they can get off to a winning start against a Manchester United side who continue to baffle with mixed results but consistently dull performances.
They were hammered 6-1 at home by Tottenham before the international break but bounced back with a 4-1 win over Newcastle at the weekend. I don't understand Newcastle, a poor side who somehow pick up points, that means we can't read too much into a scoreline that flattered United on the night.
They should come crashing down back to reality against a PSG side who have continued to grow under Thomas Tuchel's guidance. A club that divide opinion but one that does possess quality throughout the ranks on the pitch; they came so close to success last time out and will be eager to correct that throughout the new campaign.
The one element of this PSG side that stood out last season was just how ruthless they were in front of goal. The 25 goals they scored was the second-highest in the competition but that came from an average of 12.2 shots per game; a low count that left them 21st in this area.
PSG do have some issues as Mauro Icardi, Juan Bernat and Thilo Kehrer will all miss the match through injury. They could be joined by Marquinhos, Marco Verratti, Julian Draxler and Danilo Pereira who are all major doubts. Despite that, the sheer quality throughout this squad should be enough to guide them through with little issue.
