Zenit did alright last year under similar circumstances.
In UEFA Cup.
When the last stages of UEFA Cup were played their season was in the first 1/3 and they weren't as tired as the other European teams, but they were still very well prepared because it wasn't the very beginning og their season.

Previously they did good in UEFA groups even without playing comepetetive matches in Russia, but you surely can't compare the strenght of the UEFA teams with the strenght of Real and Juve.

Word. Still it would not be wise to underestimate.

True, but who really wants to go to Russia in December to play a progression clinching match with the orange ball?
even the best team in the world can easily loose against a russian team in the winter, we should go and train in the alps before we get there.

Word X2

Btw, to prove what i was saying......

They crushed everyone in the spring, but look at their results in UEFA groups during the autumn and the winter :

Zenit 1 - 1 AZ ( October 25)
Larissa 2 - 3 Zenit ( November 11)
Zenit 2 - 2 Nürnberg (November 29)
Everton 1 - 0 Zenit (December 5)

They hardly passed the Uefa Cup group as 3rd placed, with only 1 point more than the 4th placed team.
