Zenit St. Petersburg vs. Bayer Leverkusen Live Stream: Watch Online Streaming Champions League Match

Zenit St. Petersburg and Bayer Leverkusen are playing live on the UEFA Champions League schedule on Tuesday and the match from Petrovsky Stadium starts up at 12 pm ET from Fox Sports Plus and the matchup is online from Fox Sports Go and ESPN3.com as the teams matchup in the UCL and this is a big matchup for the Russian side after they fell in the first leg matchup in Group C.

This season leg matchup comes a few weeks after that game and that saw Bayer win 2-0 and that was at home for the team and now they travel to visit Zenit in Russia. The Group C set is a tough one and now the teams will play on the fourth Champions League match schedule day and this is one of the toughest matchups in the draw for this round. Bayer is on top of the group already and that puts them in good position, but they know that the standings are close.

Bayer is in first place in Group C and they will be looking to stay there against André Villas-Boas' team and the boss has his club ready for this matchup. Karim Bellarabi is the player to watch for Bayer and he comes in after playing earlier in a Euro 2016 qualifier against Poland and looked good and he will try and keep that form up. Zenit's best player is winger Hulk and he will be the main focus for Bayer in this matchup.

Zenit St. Petersburg doesn't have any injuries or suspensions coming into the game, while Bayer has Stefan Reinartz out for the matchup. The coverage for the game is on TV from Fox Soccer Plus and coverage is online from ESPN3.com and Fox Soccer 2Go. Leverkusen comes into the match at fifth on the Bundesliga table and coming up next month they have a big matchup with powerhouse Bayern Munich and that will be a very anticipated matchup for both teams.

Kyriakos Papadopoulos will also be out for the matchup and that is a tough one for Bayer Leverkusen coach Roger Schmidt to deal with. Papadopoulos is dealing with a shoulder issue and that could keep him out for a while and now the team has a tough trip to deal with and that could be a very tough blow to overcome in the short term and the long term. The match at home was an easy 2-0 win, but here will be much tougher and Schmidt said the team will have to play very hard to make sure they get points here.
