Goalkeeper “Bruges” Simon Mignolet shared his expectations for the Champions League group stage matches.
The Belgian team will play in the same group with Zenit, Dortmund “Borussia” and Lazio.
“I know all the teams well. Many of my former partners played in them, and several Belgians are now in Borussia. In this group, everyone can beat everyone. But Borussia, of course, are the favorites.
Much will depend on the specific matches. If you have to play in Russia in the winter and it turns out to be terribly cold there, and even snow will fall, then this can be an advantage for the residents of St. Petersburg.
IN Borussia and Lazio are passionate fans, but on the other hand, when these teams come to us, we can always score three points too, ”said Mignolet.
Zenit’s home stadium, Gazprom Arena, has a roof. Previously became knownthat UEFA may allow Zenit to host the last Champions League match at home, since the roof allows for comfortable games in all weather conditions.
