Charlie Nicholas predicts Zenit vs Celtic

Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has predicted Russian outfit Zenit St Petersburg to win in the second leg against Celtic in the Europa League clash.

The Bhoys won the first leg 1-0 at Parkhead last Thursday, thanks to a brilliant strike from Callum McGregor, but Nicholas says that it won’t be easy for Brendan Rodgers’ men to get a positive result in Russia.

Nicholas predicted that Celtic would lose the first leg, but the Bhoys proved him wrong. Defence has been a major concern for Rodgers throughout their Champions League campaign, but they stayed resolute in the first leg.
