On Wednesday evening Old Trafford will host the 2008 UEFA Cup final between Zenit St Petersburg and Rangers Football Club. The two clubs couldn’t be further apart geographically and the trip from Glasgow to Manchester will surely take far less of a toll on Walter Smith’s men than it will on Zenit who will have had to fly almost four hours to Manchester and may have difficulty acclimatising to the humid weather.
Zenit, however, are still heavy favourites to win the game at 13/10 top price from William Hill. Zenit are obviously concentrating solely on winning this competition, they have not concentrated on their domestic league and are therefore third from bottom in their league.
Rangers are currently battling with Celtic to win the Scottish Premier Division and have are playing Queen of the South in the final of the Scottish Cup. They have already won the league cup and are in a position where they could win all four possible pieces of silverware. However, with so much for them to concentrate on, the 5/2 odds on them winning are indicative of how difficult a game this will be for Rangers.
The UEFA Cup Golden Boot seems looks to be shared between Luca Toni and Pavel Pogrebnyak, who have both scored 10 goals in the competition, although a yellow card in Pogrebnyak’s semi final has seem him disqualified from the final.
