    Any thoughts?
    Leaning towards Zenit myself on the back of their amazing Semifinal performance
    Dont know much about them to be honest.
    Skrtel was a good player for them and he has not looked out of his depth at Liverpool
    If the rest of their squad is the same quality they should easily beat Rangers.
    Will need more research first though.

    Anyone got any insight?

    I am going for 3-1 for either side .It might just be one of those matches ,hopfully not a boring 0-0 after full/ extra time ,go to penaltys match .

    Zenit are without thier top goalscorer so could be very tight.

    As the Rangers fans will far outnumber their Zenit Counterparts this will be like a home tie imo. 6/4 to lift the cup seems fair value.
    Never thought I'd be rooting for Gers but.

    Backing Zenit myself E140 @ 4-7 dnb.
    Zenit scoring 14 times in 8 matches while conceding 8.
    Rangers scored 5 goals but conceeded just 2
    Rangers are looking poor in the scotish league and were very lucky with their last 2 results.
    By all accounts Zenit have more or less ignored their league matches and completely
    concentrated on the UEFA cup final.
    Just cant see Rangers winning it in normal time so the best bet i could find was Zenit dnb.

    Got matched on Rangers @ 3/1. Hopefully they can give one more final push to their season as they are absolutely bollixed at this stage. While Zenit are a decent side they are being over estimated big time. Considering this is basically a home game for Rangers I think they'll just nick it.

    Rangers have gotten to where they are through a rigid defensive system while Zenit have been a counter attacking side.

    0-0 if you ask me.

    This is rangers' 64th game of the season. They must be absolutely knackered. Going for zenith here, they have a good attack

    Had Zenit 2-0 and exactly 2 or 3 goals...both at half time. Really enjoyed that injury time goal. Lovely.

    Rangers were hapless and I am a mug. Due to unforeseen circumstances I had to leave after half an hour but all I saw up to that point was ZSP with possession and Rangers leaving 10 men behind the ball. Rangers and I deserved what we got.
