Petersburg FC "Zenit" will play in the group stage of the Europa League with "Bordeaux", "Copenhagen" and "Slavia", these are the results of today's draw. The not very impressive composition of the opponents suggests that the team's fans are likely to plan a spring trip to the opponent in the 1/16 finals of the LE.

Recall that Zenit came out in group stage LE 2018 / 2019 after defeating Dynamo Minsk and Norwegian Molde in non-problematic confrontations.

The results of the draw did not bring any grandees or difficult opponents to the St. Petersburg team, including because Zenit was seeded in the first pot along with the London Arsenal, Chelsea, the German Bayer, the Roman Lazio and the Spanish Sevilla, the most "Leago-European", or something, club.

So, in the 2018/2019 season, here are the rivals that will face Zenit in Group C:
- "Bordeaux" (Bordeaux, France);
— Copenhagen (Copenhagen, Denmark);
- Slavia (Prague, Czech Republic).

Match schedule of Zenit in the Europa League 2018/2019

Zenit matches in the Europa League will be held on September 20, October 4, October 25, November 8, November 29 and December 13.

Round 1, September 20: Copenhagen - Zenit (away);
Round 2, October 4: Zenit - Slavia (away);
Round 3, October 25: Zenit - Bordeaux (away);
Round 4, November 8: Bordeaux - Zenit (home match);
Round 5, November 29: Zenit - Copenhagen (home match);
Round 6, December 13: Slavia - Zenit (home match).

It is obvious that such rivals to the current "Zenith" are quite capable of themselves.

True, the fans do not seem to be very satisfied with what is happening in the team, despite the fact that it solves all the tasks that are currently available, and in the Russian Championship it does not do so with a 100% result. At least in response to a question in, the former goalkeeper of Zenit, and now his deputy sports director, about “how do you like the group?”, Exclamations were mainly heard about the need to strengthen the composition.
