Celtic and Zenit St. Petersburg will be meeting for the first time ever in the teams’ history with each side seeking a place at the quarter finals of the UEFA Europa League, with Celtic having advanced to the competition by virtue of dropping out of the UEFA Champions League. To the game, Celtic will be carrying an eight game unbeaten run at home and hoping they can improve on their Europa League record, having failed to win any of their last 11 matches in Europe’s second most prestigious club competition. The Scottish giants have played to four wins and a loss in their last five matches and at home, they have four wins and a draw in the last five, having scored 12 goals and conceded just three. Celtic have lost just once in their last 10 outings and have lost two matches at home in their last 15. In the Europa League, they have not won any of the last 11 and have not won in their last five at home in the same competition. Zenit on the other hand, have drawn once and won four times in their last five matches. Away from home, they will need to improve a lot, having won just once, drawn thrice and lost once in the previous five matches, scoring five and conceding as many. Zenit carry a nine – match unbeaten run to this game and are unbeaten in seven Europa League matches. But away from home, they have managed just three wins in 10 and away from home in the Europa League they have picked five wins in 10.
