Leverkusen will be hoping to stop the Zenit juggernaut with a strong home performance at home in the first leg of the UEFA Cup quarterfinals this coming midweek, 3^rd of April 2008 19:45 GMT.

Bayer have been rather inconsistent this season with strong home performances matched up equally tame away games. Bayer barely scraped through to the quarterfinals going past German opponents Hamburg in the round of 16. A 1-0 home victory in the first leg was nullified by a 3-2 away loss in Hamburg a week later. However, two away goals proved decisive as the last German team to make it into the Champions League finals get to live another day. Much of Bayer season has gone through Captain Christian Ramelow who has been a tower of strength back in defence and he will be hoping to guide his team through to the semifinals this time around. Bayer will be wary of Zenit’s sublime home form and will know that a big home lead is mandatory to any future success against their Russian opponents.

Zenit on the other hand have been one of the biggest surprise stories of the UEFA Cup this season and come into this clash on the back of stunning results against Villarreal and Marseille. Zenit have been superb at home all season in Europe and much of their success is down to a brilliant home record. In their previous outing against Marseille, Zenit overcame a 3-1 deficit away in France to notch up a 2-0 victory at home and the Russian outfit will be going into this clash confident of emulating CSKA Moscow’s triumph a couple of years back. Roman Shirokov and Radek Sirl are back after one-match suspensions, but Kim Dong Jin is banned. Zenit will have the added advantage of being fresh from a long break as the Russian championships began only this weekend and much will be expected from the Russians in Germany this coming midweek.
