Zenit St Petersburg
Borussia Dortmund
Lazio
Club Brugge
Dortmund are the clear favourites to progress here. They had an exciting round of 16 tie against Zenit in 2013-14, but the Russian champions while solid, don’t possess the same firepower they had back then. I had my reservations about Lazio before the draw, but as things have transpired, the Biancocelesti don’t face any big-hitters, meaning their squad should have enough to finish above Zenit and Brugge. The Belgian champions however do thrive on being underestimated and one can’t rule out their ability to pick up surprise points that could impact the outcome of this group.
